Six Word Memoir
My friend Alex Fayle, who writes the Someday Syndrome blog, tagged me with the following challenge:
- Write a six-word memoir.
- Post it to your blog including a visual illustration if you would like.
- Link to the person who tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.
- Tag 5 more blogs with links.
- Don’t forget to leave a comment in the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.
Alex said that he tagged me because I’m "so efficient" that I could easily achieve the six-word limit, but I suspect that he knows I can’t resist this type of challenge!
So here goes…

Her mother’s daughter; her own woman.
I’m tagging:
- Kathy Stinson, because she’s a writer, so she can do this if anyone can
- Tony at PinkQuack, so he knows I haven’t forgotten about him
- Jacki Hollywood Brown of Adventures in Organizing, because she’s usually up for a challenge too – and she can do it in both official languages
- Erika Martlew at Northern Connections and Crystal Stango at The Filing Cabinet, just because
If anyone else would like to play along, please leave a comment so we can see what you’ve written.
You might even want to submit your six-word memoir to SMITH Magazine to be considered for publication in an upcoming book. (Their first volume, Not Quite What I was Planning: Six Word Memoirs from Writers Famous and Obscure came out earlier this year.)
