Alice’s six-word memoir could be “Falling down hole changed life forever.”
My online Wisconsin Public Radio newsletter the other day had a great article about a recent Talk of the Nation show that I had missed. Using EXACTLY six words, write your life story. Apparently this originated with the online magazine, Smith. I, of course, tried my hand:
- Writer keeps wandering off the trail
- Woman writer seeking meaning and money
- Too many interesting paths to follow
- Dancing with words but can’t sing
- When am I really grown up?
Go to either the Smith site at http://www.smithmag.net/ or the NPR website to find samples—many are hilarious, some are poignant, and some are puzzling.
