Six Words


So the story goes that someone once challenged Ernest Hemingway to write a story in just six words. The result? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”

Starting in 2006, SMITH Magazine asked its readers for their own six-word memoirs, and they responded by the thousands.  That led to the original book, “Not Quite What I Was Planning,” which was filled with poignant, funny and inspirational memoirs.  The book spent six weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and a phenomenon was born.

With a tip of our hat to SMITH Magazine, we ask our readers to share their own six-word summary of their thoughts on a particular topic.  The topic will change at our whim. 

Current topic:  What is your favorite thing to do in the snow?

Please enter ONLY your six words in the “Speak Your Mind!” field below.
