I've told you before that one of the things I love about Jeffrey is the way he seeks out little things to delight me. His latest "gift" has gotten me hooked on six word stories. Yes, an entire story in just six words. Man, my journalism teacher would have loved them. Here's one by Ernest Hemingway. It is rumored that he claimed it to be his best work.

Hi Relyn,
Who knows what dreams may come?
(I pinched most of that from Shakespeare!) Don't know if you've come across them but there are blogs that participate in a 'Six Word Saturday' post.
I love these six word stories--sort of like a writing exercise we did in high school. Gosh, I loved that exercise.
How's this:
The sun rises, a new day.

Relyn,
This are so wonderful and so much story lies within just six wonderful words in each of the quotes you listed here.
Great way to tease people into wanting so much more.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
I just recently finished a book titled "Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure"
It was fun and intriguing to see what these people came up with......and inspiring.
My hand at the six word wizardy:
