Heard of a 6 word memoir?

I am so loving this idea.

Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Starting in 2006, SMITH Magazine re-ignited the recountre by asking our readers for their own six-word memoirs. They sent in short life stories in droves, from the bittersweet (“Cursed with cancer, blessed with friends”) and poignant (“I still make coffee for two”) to the inspirational (“Business school? Bah! Pop music? Hurrah”) and hilarious (“I like big butts, can’t lie”).

Our newest book, Six-Word Memoirs on Love & Heartbreak, is a roller-coaster ride through the complexities of the human heart. It's just $10 — bring it instead of a bottle of wine to your next party.

I have a short attention span.
Said to Morgan: new Valentine tradition.

Let me hear your 6word memoirs!
I can't share mine 'til Valentines. (
Sometimes he reads this thing.)



Rushed In, Heart Broken, Love Unattained

Dear me, I'm nothing without you

You send shivers down my spine

I didn't sign up for this

Blind date.. fell in love forever

Life is short. Buy the shoes

Found true love. Married someone else.

Let me hear your love story!
