Someone who made me laugh — a ten-minute writing prompt

Someone who actually made you laugh. Quote them exactly.

What a child is asked afterwards

Someone who made me laugh

Who made you laugh? Write what they said.

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 sentences run long

Cut at the conjunction. Where “and” or “so” appears, a period belongs.

When you can't be honest

Write as if no one will read it. You can choose what to show after you finish.

When nothing comes to mind

Write down one thing that happened recently. It does not have to be a good story.

Today's constraints on this prompt

No 'thing'

'Thing' hides the real word. Name it.

Include one number

'Three years' always beats 'a long time'.

Open in 5 words or fewer

Lose them in line one and the rest never happens.
