Oprah's magazine for me too. I cut out one of the sixes from that article, and still have it hanging where I get ready each day. "Loving Heart for Sale. Like new."
Never dreamed that I'd be contributing one day. Took me 11 more months to work up the courage. For a long time I just wrote sixes to myself.
I caught the media buzz after the first book, but never investigated. Then a facebook friend started posting so it caught my interest again. I did a Google search and never found the facebook page, but I found this.
Valentine's Day radio contest about six word memoirs. I submitted a winning entry on best break up line in six words, and subsequently bought a book. Googled the website, and here I am almost a year later.
"Not Quite What I Was Planning" -- I picked it up because an old schoolmate, Chuck Klosterman, had a six on the jacket.
About Six-Word Questions
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?
