Six Word Memoir

Filed under: Break Time

My friend Alex Fayle, who writes the Someday Syndrome blog, tagged me with the following challenge:

  1. Write a six-word memoir.
  2. Post it to your blog including a visual illustration if you would like.
  3. 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.
  4. Tag 5 more blogs with links.
  5. 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:

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.)
