Six Words

Everyone has a story. Can you tell yours in six words?

That's the challenge given by Smith Magazine. SMITH magazine celebrates the joy of storytelling.

SMITH is a home for storytelling of all forms and kinds, with a focus on personal narrative. We believe everyone has a story, and everyone should have a place to tell it. Storytelling has never been easier, more democratic, and, on the good days, interesting. It’s an amazing time for media makers, one in which content is often bottom up rather than top down, aspirational, populist, forward thinking, and most of all, participatory. SMITH is both a place for professional and never-before-published writers, artists, and photographers, bound together by a passion for storytelling.

Some special six word challenges include A Life in Bites and Six Word Memoirs on Love & Heartbreak.

Here are a couple I came up with this evening:

Gas up. Rent up. Salary stagnant.

Project Runway; Top Chef; guilty secrets.

These are not as simple to write as they might sound. They're harder than writing Haiku! Have fun.

Peace,
