Description:

I recently became fascinated with this topic after seeing a swap similar to this one by @AlyssD

Most references give credit to the father of the 6 word story to Ernest Hemingway, who wrote: "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn." Isn't that bleak and evocative and Hemingway-esque? lol! Since then it seems to have caught on like wildfire. Below are some on-line references to inspire you.

My challenge to each of you is to write your own six-word-story and send it to 3 partners on a postcard, notecard, or letter. This swap is for fiction.

The sister-swap is Six Word Memoirs for your own personal memoir.

websites for reference.

I have to move this to my watchlist. I'm looking forward to joining a round two if there is one. I think this a lovely swap to have on-going. :)

Thanks for the encouragement Rachrnm. I'll give it a try since this received a decent response. Of course I'd love to have many more people sign up next time!
