Memoirs Are Made Of This
Alice tagged Grannymar and she, in turn, tagged me. The task: write your memoir in six words. I remember reading that Hemmingway was challenged to write a story in six words. He wrote something painfully thought provoking: “For sale: baby shoes. Never worn.”
Now, I can’t hope to write something to make people think. So, I’m just going to go with honesty:
Sixteen years, no fun! Everything changed!
My turn to do the tagging: Anthony, Ben, Daragh, Laura, Ken and Ross, do you want to give it a go?
The rules:
- Write your own six word memoir.
- Post it on your blog, including a visual illustration if you’d like.
- Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to the original post if possible so that it can be tracked as it travels across the blogosphere.
- Tag at least five more blogs with links;
- and Leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!
Well done young man! Enjoy the fun!
Those six words say a lot! Very good Darren! (Everybody’s is better than mine.)
grrr leave this with me a few days, this requires brain power. .

How did the exams go?
[…] Thanks for visiting! If you like what I’m doing (or don’t!?) – Leave me a comment or two! So the smug bastard tagged me in his post. The object of which is to jot down in 6 words a memoir that suits you best. 6 words?! Don’t […]
My favourite picture of last year.
@Mary And definitely one of mine. It was a great weekend and that was a brilliant moment out on the riverside.
Yes, yes it was when we were as usual for us very very sober and not hungover in the least at all!!!! Very sober.
