What I ate yesterday — a ten-minute writing prompt

Describe one thing you ate yesterday so someone who's never had it can taste it.

What a child is asked afterwards

What I ate yesterday

Write about the best thing you ate yesterday.

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

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.

Always say who did it

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