Six Word Memoir

Six-Word Memoirs is a special project created by Larry Smith, founder of Smith Magazine. Smith was inspired by Ernest Hemingway's legendary six-word novel, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

The challenge is to feel the weight of words, and recognize their importance. Since the project began, Six-Words has seen over 200,000 six-word memoirs and published five books, including Six-Words on Love and Heartbreak, and I Can't Keep My Own Secrets.

Branch wiki of: To Write Love on Her Armsa

2010-08-19 [~Valkyrie~]: *laughs* I love playing a Vampire in the Cam (the show True Blood is based on the writer's time playing in the Cam. :D), but I suppose perhaps one day my lover will drag me to a Werewolf game. Who knows, he may be able to convert me. :p
At least Werewolves aren't a bunch of backstabbers. :p

2010-08-19 [Ghost the Hybrid]: *sits in a corner and listens*

2010-08-19 [Iruvielle]: *nods* No, we aren't.
We're actually a very noble bunch. :3
Loyal and loving, as wolves should be.
*stares at Evol* Unlike some people... >.>
:P

2010-08-19 [Ghost the Hybrid]: meow?

2010-08-19 [Koho Ai]: *walks in with a bloody daggar* huh someone call and we old vampire are very noble unlike the newbies that the werewolves wound up by presenting themselves to them.

2010-08-19 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i don't know where i belong >_<

2010-08-19 [Koho Ai]: *holds out bloody daggar* join us child and you shall be forever immortal and trained under the best of the best.

2010-08-20 [Iruvielle]: Oh gee, thanks Anthony.
:P

2010-08-20 [Ghost the Hybrid]: *curls up in a corner compleatly lost*

2010-08-20 [Koho Ai]: *checks the stocking list* Where the hell are the cookies at?

2010-08-20 [Iruvielle]: *holds up bag of cookies* Looking for something. :3
