Six-Word Memoirs

Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway  was once challenged to write a story in six words.  Papa came back swinging with "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Some say it as his best work; other dismiss the anecdote as a literary folk tale.  Either way, the six-word memoir was born, celebrating personal storytelling using exactly six words.

Here are a few of mine:

"Tightrope walking gets easier with practice."

"Vicariously living my husband's American Dream."

"I have indeed become my mother."

"Although sometime weary, I still write."
