Ryan Scott Hall @ryanscotthall.bsky.social · 18/09/2026If you’re a Chiefs fan, you have to start reading the FREE substack articles HisDirknesS has been publishing this season. We put AHPKC on ice so he can focus on being a Dad, and it opened the door for him to write again. This week, he resurrected The Best & Worst! What a time to be alive. 110

Ryan Scott Hall @ryanscotthall.bsky.social · 27/08/2026So, we start the year with five sentences as the minimum expectation and a goal to write for about five minutes. Both numbers increase as the year progresses. Typically, the only framing beyond that is the one word prompt. 010

Ryan Scott Hall @ryanscotthall.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I love a writing prompt – especially thematic prompts that connect to our text. Often, a single word will work wonders. If your protagonist is going to be in an awkward situation, use “cringe” or something for the prompt and students will go wild with personal stories. The segues write themselves. 120
