I have been tagged by Rachel at Fitness for Mommies to write my own six word memoir. Essentially, you are supposed to write a six word memoir about yourself and/or your fitness.
MizFit’s first thought was: Holy crapballs gosh Im too tired to even think straight —–but then I decided that by day’s end that’s pretty much my natural state so:
met love on bus with Mounds™
Here are the rules and whom I am tagging (MizFit so deplores rules—-and pressure, People. So do it if you want. If you dont? So be it.):
Ms. ScaleJunkie, Mr. MarathonMe, Ms. Zandria, Ms. HumanRace600, & Ms. NextThingToTry
If you’re so inclined please to:
- Write your own six word memoir
- Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you want
- Link to the person that tagged you in your post
- Tag at least five more blogs with links.
And, because Im a complete and utter reading nerd at heart (and why I happily joined in this tagging), head here to see the book o’six word memoirs and the original Hemingway story which I adore.

March 31, 2008 at 8:49 pmOh, lawd! Six words? To describe me?
Isn’t it funny how being limited to a certain number of words seems more difficult than writing a longer description?
And you HAVE to EXPLAIN your memoir! 🙂

April 1, 2008 at 9:48 amCheck out this article from The New Yorker – http://www.newyorker.com/talk/2008/02/25/080225ta_talk_widdicombe the writer composed a review of the six-word memoir book entirely in six-word sentences. It’s really impressive!

April 3, 2008 at 8:54 pmThis is wonderful! I actually work for Smith Magazine, and they’re having me hunt for good responses to this challenge. A lot of people out there make a list or some sort of declarative statement, but yours is a genuine story–it sparks our interest and actually has plot, characters, and setting. I’m impressed–I’ve been putting off coming up with one because I that’s what I want for my own. If you haven’t already, definitely post it on http://www.smithmag.net, because we’re collecting new ones for the next book.
