The Six-Words Collection

Hello, fellow tweeps! Yesterday (May 17^th), the news of the 6-word ‘Momoirs’ on the New York Times (http://nyti.ms/iOs14s) took Twitter by storm, so some of us decided to invent our own 6-wordsies on various topics. We pretty much ran wild with it! So, naturally, I couldn’t resist putting them all together. Apart from #sixwords, there’s also #fourwords and #fivewords, and if there were more of me, I’d have included those too.

Hope I didn’t forget anyone! Also, if you have a FAVORITE or would like to CONTRIBUTE more #sixwords, feel free to do so here. Just bear in mind I won’t be checking the channels anymore, because it’s too addictive! So, lo and behold! Counter-alphabetized, THE 6-WORDS COLLECTION.

P.S. Thanks to all contributions and I hope everyone enjoys!

The Six-Words Challenge

Yes, I obsess easily. So I read this blog post and was reminded of Ernest Hemingway's 6-word story:


'For sale: baby shoes, never worn.'                   --Amazing, right?


So here comes the obsession. I asked some friendly Tweeps to think up of some more stories. So far:


@VerbaVitae: Ate. Threw up. No more chicken.       &      Fond. Lost. Found. Love's lifecycle. <3


@SeanWallace: He died happy; I made sure.              (LOVE IT!!!)


@timqueeney: No fun if you're a pawn!!!


My own, as always are a tad ridiculous:


Stepped on your gum. Kept it.
In his likeness, God created monkey.
Monkey did the same with man. (Yes, I cheated, that's two 6-wordsies there.)


And NOW I can't let this go... PLEASE, put me out of my misery and add some!!!

Ever heard of the Tiny Weeny competition (@Leaf Books)? It's closed now, but I've been racking my brain to think of funny little gems to send next time it opens @ http://bit.ly/jET6EZ. Here's some I have:

1.  The Anguished Sandwich

       Without mayonnaise,

           I STAND NO CHANCE

       to touch your lips.

2.  Proposal

I would comply if you asked

Gently, like breeze

      ‘will you marry me?’

  I might.
