Six Words Too Short For Memoir

This is more fun than life. (note, six words) Six word memoirs. Here's how SMITH magazine describes it.

"Six-Word Memoirs: The Legend
Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Last year, SMITH Magazine re-ignited the recountre by asking our readers for their own six-word memoirs. They sent in short life stories in droves, from the bittersweet (“Cursed with cancer, blessed with friends”) and poignant (“I still make coffee for two”) to the inspirational (“Business school? Bah! Pop music? Hurrah”) and hilarious (“I like big butts, can’t lie”)."


You can go to SMITH and read others, add your own.

Mine: Had a life. Then found blogging.
