Let's Write a Six-Word Story or a Poem

Do you desire to pen something down but do not know where to start? "Let's Write a Six-Word story or a Poem" by M.A. Quigley is what you need to get you started. Why is that?

I must commend the author for creating these writing prompts that are easy to understand for beginners and professionals alike in the field of writing. The book contains valuable tips on how to start writing and how you can make your writing experience more enjoyable and worthwhile.

Did you know you can write a complete story in just six words? Yes, you can. The book highlights how it is done and explains each segment of the "six-word story" to help the reader get the sense out of the story. However, this is one of the baby steps that, if consistently practiced, will lead you to end up being a seasoned short story writer or a novelist.

The author has also explained what poetry is all about and what it can tell us about the poets. Is poetry difficult to draft? What are the different types of poems? The book answers all these questions.

The interesting bit about the book is that it is engaging and allows you to get to work. There are exercises you will need to do in order that you may bring your writing dream to a reality. These writing exercises will require you to take a pause and deeply reflect on what you have written. There are questions you will need to ask yourself as a way to improve your writing skills and understanding of poetry. This hands-on approach makes the book a valuable tool for aspiring poets looking to hone their craft and explore the world of poetry in a more meaningful way.

Another interesting feature is the idea of writing a poem or a story by looking at a picture. There are several images in the book and short poems and stories that give a unique perspective on how visual stimuli can inspire creativity in writing. This interactive element adds a new dimension to the traditional writing process and encourages writers to think outside the box when it comes to their craft.

Though the book portrays valuable prompts to help readers who aspire to be writers be better writers, the content organization needs some adjustments. There should be some headings, proper numbering of each step, and clear instructions on how to navigate through the different sections. This would improve the overall user experience and make it easier for writers to engage with the material effectively.

I will try to use the images provided in the prompt to write poems inspired by the unique perspectives presented in the book to enhance my creativity and allow me to explore different writing styles and techniques.
