I love these guys!  I’m so lucky to have three readers who love the challenge of the Six Word Project and they consistently send me contributions.  I wonder where the other writers are, I know some of them are regular readers.  Reminder to everyone, go check out the real Six Word Memoir Project on Smith Magazine‘s website:  http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/

As the sun lowers in the sky, the temperature drops a bit and it gets dark earlier,  a couple of the memoirs reflect upon the oncoming Autumn.

Once again I’m really happy that a few more reader-contributed Six Word Memoirs were sent in! Oh this makes my Mondays much easier and your reading much more interesting.

This week’s contributions are:

Everyone is So Talented-Cool Contributors – submitted by Gail

Off Beach, In Shower, On Porch – submitted by Trish

If it weren’t hot, I’d paint – submitted by Jane

Isn’t it great that we’re getting in touch with our inner Ernest Hemingway?  I’m just fascinated by this concept and the more Six Word Memoirs I read, the clearer it becomes and actually easier.  At first I was bogged down by the question as it is posed; One Life, Six Words, What’s Yours?
