Six Word Memoir

22. July 2008, 12:16 pmmemelightening

Six words? You’ve got to be joking!!!!

Both my blogging and my commenting gives testament to the fact that I’m NOT a woman of FEW words.

Twitter and Plurk have both proven to be quite CHALLENGING for me. How do you say what you need to say in such a small amount of space? I can tell you now - it aint easy. Not for me anyway.

So being tagged by Journeyer for this six word memoir meme has had me scratching my head. Can I REALLY sum up my own life in just 6 words? Hmmm….

There was 1 word I knew HAD to be non-negotiable in my 6 word memoir.

PINK

Here’s what I ended up coming up with:

Sad start. Pink rocks. Flying now.

Could you do it? Summarise your life in 6 words? What about a part of your life? Have a go. If you don’t have a blog (or don’t wish to blog about it), feel free to include your 6-word memoir in the comments section. I look forward to reading what you come up with.

    This is tougher than it looks! We had a 3-word meme a while ago, and mine was “Encourage One Another.”

    With that, I thank you for your encouraging comment on my own blog!

    As to 6 words, I’ll have to keep thinking on that!

    So I take it you like pink? LOL. I’ve seen this meme around and I have not had time to think about how I would answer it myself. I think it would be hard to squeeze it all into six words.

    It’s tough, isn’t it? I like your memoir - it tells of a journey. Here’s to pink and flying :-)

    Meredith - I love “encourage one another”. I think it’s something that happens a lot in the blogworld which is wonderful to see. So glad I could say something which in some way encouraged you. Thanks for dropping by. :)

    Teeni - I’m sorry, I should have linked to my post about being pink. You can find it here: Pink Is Not JUST a Colour . You’re right, it IS hard.

    Journeyer - Amen to that! Thanks. :)

    Is it any wonder they are referred to as “micro blogging” :D

    Horse - good point. :) I suck at micro blogging. ;)

    “I have a lot to say.”

    I love that blogging allows me to say it! ‘Cause everybody I live with tuned me out a long, long time ago.

    Hi Robin - sounds like you and I have a few things in common. :)

    Sad start. Pink rocks. Flying now.

    I love it and has me thinking about what 6 words i would use.

    Unlike you I am coming to love micro blogging, I like why use 10 words if you can say it in 5:)
