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.
