I love the quote I shared yesterday, and it is true in one sense–we do make choices in life, and what we choose often doesn’t measure up to what we planned. In fact, I feel that way every time I finish a book and mentally compare it to what I had envisioned at the start.
You can read several six word memoirs from the book here.
Okay, so you probably know I’m going to ask–can you condense your life up to this point into six words? Mine would be: “Discovered pen isn’t in my hand.”
I asked some writing friends to play the game, and they came up with some hilarious–and moving–six word memoirs. Here’s a sampling:
