A friend told me about the concept of the six word memoir a few weeks ago. Begun as a project by SMITH, a story telling magazine, the responses have now been published as a book "Not Quite What I Was Planning."
If you sit down for a few minutes and think about what you'd like to say in exactly six words, it can be quite illuminating. Stephen Colbert's memoir is spot on: "Well, I thought it was funny." Daniel Pink's is "Pink. Yes. Just like the color."
More from SMITH's six word web site:
"I gave God credit. He demurred."
"It's ok. My dogs love me."
"Told to marry rich. Married Richard."
"English major. You do the math."
And mine?
"Full of wonder, full of pie."
