When looking for juicy tidbits of writing wisdom, I came across a funny site called
Six-Word Memoirs. As you are learning about and writing your own memoirs this semester, I thought this was only fitting!
Okay, so here's the deal. Can you come up with a
memoir in only
6 words? I believe you can! Think of an event in your life. Perhaps it is something that happened to you today. Now explain the moment in six words.
Here are a few samples from the site's archives
to get you warmed up to the idea:
Relaxing with the family. So cozy.
Dressed up today, I love compliments.
A blank paper is my enemy.
Broken iPod means a broken life.
You get the picture. Bring on your six-word memoirs, people!
