Six+Word+Memoirs

Six-Word Memoirs The idea of telling an entire story in half a dozen words dates back to Ernest Hemingway. Legend has it that this great American writer was once challenged to write a whole novel in just six words. He came back with: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Since then, writers have been exploring the six-word story in many shapes and forms.
