In the 1920's Ernest Hemingway bet that he could write a complete story in just 6 words.
He wrote: "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn."
He won the bet.
This inspired Smith, a writing web site, to try to write their own life story in the same short six words here.
Its since been made into books and varied with different themes.
Some of my favourites....
"Don't tell anyone where it's buried."
"I'm still here. Who'd have though?"
"Seeking silver lining; finding only tinfoil."
Can you write your memoir in six words?
I'm still working on mine.....guess I'm too verbose!
Harry had a go and came up with this straight off the bat....
"I wish I'd brought me brolly!"
Is this the sort of thing you mean?
Father died, I sighed, mother cried.
Get set go! Last, too slow.
Two Slices, one slice, none left.
Lived too fast, died too soon.
He came. I saw. I wanted.
I survived, I am a Phoenix.
Once upon a time, the end.
