Dear Reader:
Today was housecleaning day in the pink shed… translation: a bit of dusting, a lot of moving stacks of books around. There are so many that I am constantly re-discovering titles I’d forgotten. This morning’s find: Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six Word Memoirs. What a fun book! It’s a collection of famous and not-so-famous peoples’ memoirs in…you guessed it…only six words!
Here are a few of my favorites:
Maybe you had to be there
Roy Blount Jr.
Asked to quiet down; spoke louder
Wendy Lee
Me see world! Me write stories!
Elizabeth Gilbert
Couldn’t cope so I wrote songs
Aimee Mann
Brought it to a boil, often
Mario Batali
I couldn’t resist the challenge of writing my own mini memoir:
seeking: home
found: love
shared: truth
Take the six word challenge today….and share if you dare!
Michele
Wow. A whole memoir in six words. When my time comes, I hope my memoir can say, in FIVE words, “Dallas gal made God smile.” 🙂 <3
LOVE IT!
This sounds like such a cool book. In high school my 10th grade English class had to write six word memoirs. It was so fun but I forgot what it was I wrote. I’ll definitely have to check this one out though!
