Writer's Workshop: Six Words




Mama’s Losin’ It

1.) Six Word Memoir: Write about a significant time in your life in just six words.


On life right now:


Things can only get better.  Right???

Must stay positive.  No breaking down!

Survival is necessary.  Never give up!




On my ever changing daughter:


Heartbeat heard.  Happiness, tears, amazement.

Baby born.  Little girl.  Life changing.

Once a baby.  Now?  Young lady.




Misc.:

My family:  Forever in my heart.

Young at heart, old in spirit.

Words can hurt worse than punches.

Lost too soon.  I miss you.

Attention span short.  Look!  A squirrel!


*****


You would think coming up with six words would be easy, right?  I'm here to tell you that it isn't as easy as you might think.

And then when I least expected it?  Words came flowing from my brain like a river.

Funny how stuff works like that.

Y'know?

How about you?  What would your six words be??

I was too tired to think of 6 words to sum up my awesome. You did a great job. More than 6 words, but so what?! That's what I love about Mama Kat's prompts, they're like really cool jumping off points. You can go in any direction you want with them and still be right.

I loved this prompt. I thought doing a memoir is 6 words would be hard but as you say, suddenly the flood gates open and words come pouring out :)

Never in my life have I been anything but wordy and since I am not really about challenging myself I am not going to try this. I was always the person in high school and university who knew 10-12 pages was not going to be enough. Sigh...

You, however, rocked it!

LOL on the last one!!! And, I really love My Family: Forever in my heart.

Thanks for stopping by. I thought the same thing with this prompt. I was like how could I possibly say something in 6 words, and then I just couldn't stop. Too funny!
