Six Word Memoirs

A memoir is a story based on a personal memory. A six-word memoir is one of those personal stories, but told in only six words. That means you must choose your words precisely so your memoir has as much meaning as you can squeeze into those few words. Also, its important to remember that this isnt just coming up with a clever sentence or a personal motto (i.e. I love going to the mall! or live life to the fullest everyday!). It must be six words that hint at a much larger, more intricate story (i.e. Hemingways For Sale: baby shoes, never worn). Those six words point at a very interesting story.
