Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in six words. Sounds nearly impossible right? Not quite, he came up with "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Some say he called it his best work and that right there is how the six word story was born.
Thanks to the crew at "One Life. Six Words. Whats yours?" & "SMITH Magazine" Because of them the six word story has become wildly popular & stretched beyond limits.
They've also decided to give Hemingway's form a little twist: What would a six-word memoir look like?
Since reading "One Life. Six Words. Whats Yours?" I've been captured by the concept. I found myself asking friends and family what theirs would look like. Anyone I've been in contact with the past few days have been challenged to figure theirs out and get back to me.
The most heartfelt and charming story I've heard so far was from my sister! (She's a poet and doesn't know it)
I'll leave you with the challenge & some of my favorites that I've found from the book to reference.
Think of your own Six word story / memoir and feel free to inbox it to hotbynight@gmail.com Or enter it in the comment box below - anonymous or not :)
Can't wait to hear what you come up with & I'll make sure to share mine. Stay tuned!

She walked barefoot in wet cement.
Coffee junkie journalist seeks trendy nerd.
One tooth, one cavity, life's cruel.
Lost: Time; living on what’s borrowed.
I asked. They Answered. I wrote.
Lost my hair, kept my cool.
Soul'd out so I could prophet.
Write about sex, learn about love.
Took scenic route, got in late.
I take photographs. I see life.
Glass half full; pockets half empty.
I don't know but google does.
Dropped out, got out, lucked out.
Wandering imagination opens doors to paradise.
fast fierce world, slow soul'd spirit
