Your story, in six words

Posted by Rubyslippers @triciaot, Jun 23 9:29am

Are you familiar with the Six Word Story?
“A six-word story is an entire story told in six words. It is a short narrative that can have all of the emotional themes of longer stories—from funny to dramatic, sad to scary. It can be poetic or straightforward.”

Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. Others gave their own spin into the six-word novel - a personal twist to describe a life in exactly six words, sometimes called these Six-Word Memoirs.

“While these quick stories don’t have the classic beginning, middle, and end of a traditional storyline, they have a subject and verb that give the reader a sense of what’s happened and a bit of conflict.”

Here are a few of my favorites, including living through disease treatment:

Lost myself in my own labyrinth
Taking control of my own boat
Discover manage weep repeat heal survive
Disbelief anxiety fortitude bravery live on
Multitudes stand together at bell ringing
What came of it was life

I still see myself as young.
God is my strength and comfort.
Love people with all my heart.
Sickness doesn't define who I am.
Laugh often, cry often, pray often.
Look for something good each day.
God's Word sustains me every day.
Everybody needs a hug at times.
Be kind as others need it.
Smile often, listen often, encourage often.
Everything is not as urgent anymore.
Rest is healing to my body.
Keep moving as much as possible.
A good belly laugh is wonderful.
