Six Words...

One of my favourite writers (who I admit I haven't read enough of), once reportedly had a little wager with a journalist. The wager was to write in only Six words, a story.

His response: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn"

Hemingway won the bet. It may well be short, but what more do you need to know? (Ladies, for arguments sake, they were brown ;o) ).

Anyway's, the reason I recant this little yarn is because whilst listening to the radio this morning, I heard of a competition being held by Smith Magazine to write something similar, but not just a story, your life story, in just six words...

It appears to of attracted a lot of entries, but my favourite submissions, of those I've heard so far, are:

"It takes talent to waste talent"
"Life too short, eat good cheese"
"Don't 'Swing' until your second marriage"
"I came, I saw, I kvetched"
"Everything I've made can be deleted"
"White was never my colour anyway"
"I make some pretty bad decisions"
"Wake up, wash, rinse, and repeat"
"Bacon makes everything better in life"

So it got me thinking, what would my entry be?

Maybes, "Dreams and hair, come and go"... ;o)

Feel free to share your own six word life story :O)
