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.

Try this challenge.
Let your emotions and feelings and struggles out.
