“Micro Moments” is another name for a six word poem or six word story.
Pick a topic that is close to your heart. Now write six separate micro moments. Each standing on its own.
You then read them in order, then in reverse order, and then mixed up. That is a 6×6.

April Creativity Prompt 17 of 30
Let’s have a bit of fun. Take your birthday and write it out in numbers.
For example: November 3, 1978 would be 11-3-1978
Now add those numbers up, however you want.
Examples: 1+1+3+1+9+7+8=30
or 11+3+1978=1992 1+9+9+2=21
If your two digit number is greater than 26 then you need to add those two digits together.
Example: 3+0=3
Take the number you get (as long as it is under 26) and match it up with it’s corresponding letter in the alphabet.
Take that letter and list ten words.
Take one, some, or all of those words and use them to inspire or be part of a piece.
Play around. Have fun!

Come up with titles. These can be titles of stories, poems, art pieces, or songs. Create titles for works you haven’t created yet. You simply like the title you come up with.
Then later you can read your list of titles and see if it sparks a creative burst.

April Creativity Prompt 11 of 30
Step outside of your comfort zone and do something different.
If you are a writer, write from a perspective or on a topic you have never explored before.
If you are a visual artist, try a different medium or subject matter.
If you are a musician, play something new to you or something you don’t play often.
Your comfort zone is nice… but very little creativity grows there.
