More than a year ago SMITH on-line magazine challenged their readers to compress their life story into six words. The magazine was flooded with 15,000 entries and almost 1,000 of these tag line life stories have now made it into the book Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure. (by Larry Smith, Rachel Fershleiser)
My 6 word life story is “Mother, Wife, Daughter, Friend, Professional – Perfect”
To keep the challenge going, I challenge you to write your 6 word life story.
