"Six Word Memoirs".... Everyone Has A Story - What's Yours??
As legend goes, Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. And so a contest was started in which people wrote six-word stories of their own, as memoirs...it could be how your day went, what you were thinking about, or condense an event of your life into six vital words. To provide inspiration, here are some examples:
- Loving recycling. Carrying my trash home.
- Teacher, mother, daughter, wife, friend, and sister.
- Wishing I could be at beach.
- Taking a test in math today.
- Me see world! Me write stories.
So, post your six word memoirs for us to read. Be sure that it captures something going on in your life....but only in exactly six words!!!
