I Got to Write Something but, I Only Got a Minute

Imagine only having a minute to write something, now imagine it's about a specific topic and again you have just one minute. What would you write? That is the challenge The One Minute Writer blog offers. Readers have one minute to write on a subject presented to them by the author of the blog. Sounds easy right, wrong. Putting something into writing keeping short and relevant is probably the toughest job a writer has to face.

Take a copywriter's job, for example. The job requires writing a script that will capture the attention of the audience get them interested in the service or product and then call them to action, in some cases in as little as 15 seconds. For a minute you have some room but, it's still a challenge none the less.

This is an interesting site. It provides a challenge to the reader, read the topic and write a prose on that topic, in the case of a keyword which the site also features, use it in context in a short paragraph that can be read in 60 seconds. For this article I am sure I surpass that 60 seconds. So I'll close with a suggestion to drop by read the blog and try your hand at writing in 1 minute.
