The thing I'm worst at — a ten-minute writing prompt

Pick one thing you're bad at. Write the moment you realized it.

What a child is asked afterwards

The thing I'm worst at

Is there something you can't do well? Write when you found out.

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 excuses keep creeping in

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

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.

Today's constraints on this prompt

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

These words look like force. They take it away.

Finish in 6 sentences

Stopping early is the hardest and the most readable.

Only words a child knows

One word that needs a dictionary is where reading stops.
