Six Word Memoir

— 1 —

You’ve heard of the six word memoir, right? Apparently Hemingway was challenged to write a short story in six words. This is what he came up with: For Sale: baby shoes, never worn. It’s so intriguing because you know there’s always a story behind the story, but you can say a lot in six words. Of course there are books now and a blog that’s rather addictive. I came up with a few of my own this week.

Walked through heartache gracefully. Loved fiercely. 

— 3 —

Liked the brogue. Loved the man.

— 4 —

Took time to find words inside.

— 5 — 

Wonder Woman bathing suit or not? 

— 6 —

And this is what my witty teenager came up with almost immediately- Help: these aren’t my real parents.

    Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform
    you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    • Kristine – I just use a free wordpress site but at some point I’ll change to having my own wordpress domain (which you pay for) but it gives greater flexibility. Good luck with your blog.

    Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization?
    I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m
    not seeing very good success. If you know of any please
    share. Many thanks!

  19. My relatives every time say that I am killing my time here at net, but I know I am
    getting know-how everyday by reading such nice articles or reviews.
