Never again — a ten-minute writing prompt

Something once was enough. Write that day in order.

What a child is asked afterwards

Never again

Is there something you never want to do again? Write what happened.

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 nothing comes to mind

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

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.

Today's constraints on this prompt

Open in 5 words or fewer

Lose them in line one and the rest never happens.

Vary how sentences end

The same ending three times in a row puts readers to sleep.

No 'very', 'really', 'so'

These words look like force. They take it away.
