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.

2010-08-14 [Koho Ai]: I am a poet so a million things hit me at once and I have to choose appropriately cause some are more violent then others.

2010-08-14 [Talos Cyrion]: aww would have been nice to know i'm not the only one who can get visceral in their writings :p

2010-08-14 [Iruvielle]: You're not Anthony. :P

2010-08-14 [~Valkyrie~]: No, certainly not.

2010-08-14 [~Valkyrie~]: No, certainly not. I just tend to be a little more vague about it most of the time.

2010-08-14 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i'm not really good at anything

2010-08-14 [~Valkyrie~]: I highly doubt that Yume.

2010-08-14 [Ghost the Hybrid]: well that's what i've always heard

2010-08-14 [Iruvielle]: Mia, you are amazing at tons of things.
Even more so than a lot of people.
Don't you say you're no good.
If you weren't good at being such an amazing, caring, sweet friend, you wouldn't be my friend... or my "husband" :P
*huggles Mia*

2010-08-14 [~Valkyrie~]: *laughs* Well, I don't know you, so listen to Kathy. :p

2010-08-14 [Ghost the Hybrid]: *huggles kafy* thanx kafy but it's sometimes hard to believe when you've heard that you're not good enough enough times in the past

2010-08-14 [Iruvielle]: The past is the past for a reason, hun.
But, I know what you're saying.
You've just got to forget the past and live for the future.
