To change a habit, change what? — a ten-minute writing prompt

A case willpower lost and environment won.

What a child is asked afterwards

To change a habit, change what?

What do you do every day? Since when?

Everyone gets the same subject. What differs is the follow-up: one question for children, two for teens, three for adults. Only the children's wording is simplified.

Where people usually get stuck on this one

When you stall halfway

Explaining is what stalls you. Put down what you saw and what you heard instead.

When it reads flat

Find the sentence you are least sure about. What you actually meant is usually hiding there.

When the first line won't come

Skip it and start at the second. The opening writes itself once the rest exists.

Today's constraints on this prompt

Only words a child knows

One word that needs a dictionary is where reading stops.

Always say who did it

Not 'it was decided' but 'I decided'. Leave out the doer and the writing hides.

Add one sense

Writing through the body needs no explaining.
