Rachel and I had a great time talking with Leonard Lopate and winners of SMITH and WNYC’s “Six-Word Resolutions” contest. Listen to a podcast of the show on WNYC.com. These eight inspired micro-resolutionists will receive a copy of our new book, It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure.. Thanks to the hundreds of you who submitted nearly 1,000 Six-Word Resolutions. Next contest: Six Words on Life in New York City.
