Six Words
Earnest Hemingway, my literary hero, is said to have written a novel in six words:
"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
SMITH Online Magazine recently conducted a contest in which writers were to write their life story in six words. The winner was:
"Not quite what I was planning."
The whole concept is absurdly neat. Now, it's your turn to accept "Dave's Six Word Challenge" and write a novel, story, poem ... whatever ... of your choosing in just six words.
Give it a try. Just send them to me and I'll post them.

Much more fun than high school.
