Then this might interest you…(and by short, I mean short…)
These short stories are actually just six-words long. No joke! They’re called six-word memoirs at SMITH Magazine, a home for all forms of storytelling. What they are most known for is their Six-Word Memoirs series.
In 2008, they published Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs By Writers Famous & Obscure. The title is self explanatory, no? Personally, I love the book — I bought it a while ago and it’s absolutely brilliant! I really recommend giving this book a quick flip through.
Part of the SMITH Magazine site is SMITHTeens. This site is dedicated to all teens and young adults who have stories they would like to share in just six words! They can be about everyday events, “Baked Cookies. Looked Terrible. Tasted Amazing,” passing thoughts, “I’d love getting socks from Santa,” or maybe even a special someone, “We cuddled; shirt smells like him.”
Try writing a few and submit them here. You may even get a chance to be published in their future book, Six-Word Memoirs by Teens Famous & Obscure!
…Can you tell a six-word story?
