the six word memoir
there is a (not so) current writing trend that is really pretty profound. short but profound. what it is is that authors, writers, and such are writing their whole memoir in just 6 words. some creative ones that i have found are... Nobody cared, then they did. Why? - Chuck Klosterman 70 years, few tears, hairy ears. - Bill Querengesser "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn" -Ernest Hemingway recently people have been putting pictures to their 6 word memoir and they have been incredible. here are some on this NPR LINK . so i think it would be great if each one of us did one about ourself. perhaps post a photoshopped picture and 6 words, or just your 6 word memoir all on its own. either way, i think it would be so interesting to see each others lives in a simple 6 words. HERE IS MINE: .............. LEFT BEHIND A LEFT BEHIND CHILD .................... alternates for mine: always looking, never finding. feeling found. lonely child found fame, lost self. -stephen so SO many good ones...

Woo hoo!
Sorry.
If you haven't already caught it, Augusten's article in Details September issue is hilarious. The subject matter of stalking and being stalked makes me think of all the bizarre things that have happened to me since my space was launched. We definitely live in a strange time! If you can relate, say AMEN!
p.s. I work in fashion or I would not be reading Details..I read if for the competitions ads....REALLY!
by the way, i read an amazing article you wrote for Relevant Magazine a few days ago. thank you so much for working to raise awareness about such a devastating problem in the world today.
