Some years ago I read Not Quite What I Was Planning. The book is a collection of six-word memoirs. It originated from a project by on-line magazine SMITH that solicited submission of peoples’ life memoir stated in six words. I recently shared that I am writing my memoir. After working on it some, I’m thinking I might settle for a six word memoir. Here are a few examples from the book:
Seventy years, few tears, hairy ears.
Born in the desert. Still thirsty.
Macular degeneration. Didn’t see that coming.
Kentucky trash heap yields unexpected flower.
Thought long and hard. Got migraine.
Thinking about my own memoir. Here is what I came up with:
I Knew. I Know. I didn’t’t
How about yours?
