Six Word Memoir by Larry Smith

A good friend sent me an article (2/15/15) from her paper, The Philadelphia Inquirer. A local boy, Larry Smith is married to Piper Kerman (Orange is the New Black) and a prolific writer in his own right. He encourages folks to tell their stories and his Smith Magazine issued a challenge in 2006 - write your six word memoir.   www.sixwordmemoirs.com

Here's one of his:  Old mixtapes foreshadowing my postmodern troubles

He received one from his friend Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love) : Me see world. Me write stories

So what's your story?

Here I am - She works to earn travel money

OR

Landlocked in Bedford, yearns for ocean

Share your tale in six words.  It makes you think, that's for sure

    I did this once before. I forgot what I wrote - it was that remarkable. Let's see...When all else fails, there's chocolate.
