2 Legend has it that author Ernest Hemingway was challenged to write a story in just six words. His response: For sale: Baby shoes, never worn.

3 If it doesn’t work, try again. Smile, what’s the use of crying. Baseball Hall of Fame is paradise. Paper and pen tell people’s stories. Life has many pathways. Choose one. I am not everyone’s favorite flavor. Live fully, love forward, live purposeful. Art expresses me when I can’t. Stronger than I want to be. Too much sweet, not enough spice. When I know myself, YOU will. Life isn’t a party; dance anyway. So many books, too little time. One life…it’s like a rollercoaster. Examples of six-word memoirs
