grandsummoner is taking a Creative Writing course, and at some point the class was asked to study the significance of Hemingway's famous six-word story:For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
In short (no pun intended), the idea is to tell a full story in as few words as possible. In her latest entry, she asked people to reply with their own six-word stories, preferably ones that described them as people. Mine were:
Wanted: weary writer seeks finished product.
Oldest tree fails to weather storm.
January interrupted by warm summer winds.
Lovers. High tide. Two mothers mourn.
I think it's a good exercise, and I'm curious. If you have the time and inclination, post a story in six (or seven) words or less. It doesn't have to be about you -- just make a coherent story out of as little as possible.

Date: 2008-02-11 05:50 pm (UTC)Strawberry bootlaces are these thin red round strings that taste of... strawberry. gummy worms, but thin and shoelace-like instead of those broad sour make-your-buttcheeks-clench types. =D
As always, I wanna hump that icon. XD Butt nuzzle!
