I am fascinated with this topic since I saw a similar swap by @AlyssD

Most references give credit to the father of the 6 word story to Ernest Hemingway, who wrote: "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn." Isn't that bleak and evocative and Hemingway-esque? lol! Since then it seems to have caught on like wildfire.

My challenge to each of you is to write your own six-word-memoir about yourself and send it to 3 partners on a postcard, notecard, or letter.

This is sister-swap to Six Word Stories for fiction.

Below are some on-line references to inspire you.

Each seems simular a bit confused.

For what it's worth, there's a basically identical swap here ...not that it can't be done again

Yes, melusina, I think that's the one I saw that got me thinking about this.
