If it’s Monday it must be Six Word Memoir Monday and so it is.  It’s a holiday today and I’m wondering if by the time I get to write my six words, an inspiration will come…  In the meantime, there are readers and blog followers who each week look introspectively into their daily lives and send forth some great memoirs!!

I was having an awful day – startingoveringermany (http://startingoveringermany.wordpress.com/)

Heart divided between NYC and Texas –Grace Gotham (gracegothamnyc.com)

Rather be playing banjo at Shakey’s – Weez

Mind goes blank – no memoir today –Gail

First day diet – 10 to go – Me

Each week I try to encourage my readers to think about summing up their lives in six words – no more – no less. Can you? will you?  It’s fun and you will be in the blog the following week.

Six Word Memoir Monday – One Life, Six Words, What’s Yours?

Posted in Six Word Memoirs, tagged , , , , , on September 20, 2010| 2 Comments »

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.

Autumn is Almost Here

Let Apples Replace Doughnuts, Bagels, Chips – Celtic Lady (Susan H)

Chill in the Air – Feels Fabulous – Gail

... and then I’ve got my buddy lost out West, who clearly needs to come home (read New York City)…

Middle Age: Worse Than I Imagined! – Weez

One day, Two Parties, Too Tired – Me

SIX WORD MEMOIR MONDAY

And the responses keep coming in!!!   This is so cool and I KNOW I have a few more followers out there who are writers and YET….

Stuck in Vegas, like Gilligan’s Island – Weez

RELAX – Everything happens for a reason – Kevin

Buying a swimsuit, shoot me now – Gail

These contributions are terrific.  If you’re just tuning in – The Six Word Memoir Project was created by the editor of Smith Magazine. Everyone has a story to tell and if you channel the Hemmingway in yourself, you will be able to share a Six Word Memoir with us all.  It can be a summation of life, a fleeting feeling,   a day in the life of, a passion, a problem – whatever!  Please send it to me here at the blog or at pbenjaytoo@gmail.com

Have Finny, bite, squeeze, hug, kiss.

Six Word Memoir Monday-Your Life in Six Words

I bet  you thought I was going to give this up since so few of you sent in a response? NOT – going to keep on plugging away at this and see if I can lure in some more talent.

I did get a submission from one of my friends and followers affectionately known to those who know as Weez:  Thanks much!

Should have attended a better college

Recently as you may have read I had a day in the sunshine in the blogosphere because one of my posts was featured on the SITS (The Secret is in the Sauce) site.  If you are interested in learning more about SITS there is a button on my page which you can click thru to. AND as a result of that day of the 259 hits, I received an entry to our Monday  Six Word Memoir exercise.  It was sent in by Anna of  Goannatree (http://goannatree.blogspot.com/).  Anna is in her own words; Reader. Thinker. Writer. Traveler. Dreamer. Scholar. I’m honored that she stopped by my blog and took the time to send in a Six Word Memoir and her’s is: Dancing around the world and back. If you visit her blog you’ll understand the memoir.

And for this week as I sum up my life in six words:

Two husbands, two children, two lives

Merry Monday to everybody!
