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...

Thanks for the raw emotion poured into this. Its like eleven short movies, each with it's own sound track. Perfect title....thanks for the trailers you penned for each story. Felt is a treasure to be admired over and over...
It is so, so amazing... wow. I feel like you've poured your whole self onto my cd... and certainly into the signed booklet. One of my most treasured possessions now.. purely because of its specialness. Felt is beautiful... I love it =) Been listening non-stop since I opened it yesterday!
and anberlin's gig at baybeats was, in one word, awesome. thanks for that. stellar performance. not to mention i had ahelluva time. please come back soon.
