View Full Version : Your Life In Six Words

While out on the road yesterday-- I was listening to the NPR program "Talk of the Nation." On the show, they had a nice feature on a project the online magazine "Smith" has been doing for the past year or so called "Your Life In Six Words."
This notion reportedly came from Ernest Hemmingway, who wrote the following for his summation of his life in six words: "For Sale: Baby Shoes, never worn."
The people at Smith were overwhelmed at the response by their readers to their challenge---over 15,000 responses in a few months---the magazine came out with a book featuring over 800 of what their editors considered some of the best and favorite of the many thousands of responses recieved---they are now getting ready to do a follow up book.
The book is titled: "Not Quite What I Was Planning...Six Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure"
Here is the link to their site:
http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/
and a link to the NPR story where you can read about it or play the segment audio (the segment runs just a bit over 15 minutes):
http://www.npr.org/blogs/talk/
So denizens of Bisexual.com!!!! For a fun excercise--I pose as a challenge to you---let's do this on our own site and let's also post what we create to the Smith Magazine "Six Words" site as well.
My first effort is as follows:
Crooked, Winding, Untamed, Wild, Crazy River.
Don't limit yourself to just one submission either here or at Smith.
So get your thinking caps on and sum up your life: In Six Words!

Tragic, quixotic, ironic, paradoxical, fustian fantasy.
[I may have another go at this later, if I'm feeling self-indulgent]
