How do you tell it... · 19 March 2008
The writers’ magazine Smith does this six-word memoirs thing. Look here.
Saving the world the time of writing autobiographies!
Me, off the top of my head:
A series of ever-smaller revolutions.
Everything is fun after a jailbreak.
To ease tension, smash head here.
Others?

Indebted utterly to Joseph Heller:
Once upon a time something happened.
Pasted inside a “box of dreams” made during teacher training (found in a magazine, first):
And then one day I escaped.

Finally! For once, a link to something I knew about beforehand. I can feel on par with the Great Owl. :)
WHY “MEN” NOT “LITTLE GIRLS”, DADDY?

Oh, here’s a REALLY good one. It’s actually the title of a friend’s poetry book, but a perfect 6-word autobio, too:
FUCK YOU ALOHA I LOVE YOU

As per our earlier conversation…

My co-worker just had to do this on Monday at a team-building staff “retreat.” She came back the next day wondering if she’d last with her sardonic team. Hers was very earnest, family and whatnot, and her co-worker, insubordinate to the core said, “I am a very private person.” Hey, six words! But I think her boss had words with her the next day . . .!
