A day I'd go back to — a ten-minute writing prompt

If you could relive one day, which one? Start with a single scene from it.

What a child is asked afterwards

A day I'd go back to

What was your most fun day? 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 it all sounds obvious

Delete every line anyone could have written. What is left is yours.

When you have too much to say

Pick one. A single idea taken all the way beats ten touched lightly.

When excuses keep creeping in

Cut every “well, but”. The sentence stands up straight without them.

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.
