6 Word Memoir
I was tagged by Trish at Hey Lady! Whatcha Readin?' for this meme which originated here:
As I read yet another book review of a memoir this weekend, my husband told me that I should write one. I said that my story would be much too short and rather boring so when I ran across the following book I decided it was just my speed. A six word memoir! Written by Larry Smith and Rachel Fershleiser, Not Quite What I was Expecting: Six Word Memoirs by Famous and Obscure is a compilation based on the story that Hemingway once bet ten dollars that he could sum up his life in six words. His words were- For Sale: baby shoes, never worn. There’s a video on Amazon with examples from the book, it sounds like a fun read! I’d like to start a six word memoir meme and here are the rules:
1. Write your own six word memoir
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like
3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere
4 .Tag five more blogs with links
5. And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!
Ok...here are my words along with a picture of the cause of them.
Hectic but joyful, music and words.
Ok, now I am supposed to tag 5 people so here goes: Michelle, Jill, Wendy, Literary Feline, and last but not least, Stephanie.
If I didn't tag you and you'd like to play then please feel free. Leave me a comment so that I can come and see your answers.
