Life in Six Words (Or Less)

Los Angeles Times Six Word Biographies

A friend's biography was recently published. The LA Times printed six words. Thousands of subscribers received the article. "Chinese immigrant loathing drama in Anaheim."

His life, shortened to six words.

I have not before solicited feedback. I now break my own rule. I am intrigued by this idea. Ernest Hemingway attempted this unlikely feat. His challenge: a six word novel. "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Concise in form, but truly telling.

I wondered if I could write the story of my life in six words or less.

I will post what I finally decided upon in a few days. In the mean time, post your own six word (or less) biographies. I dare you.

Some biographies I entertained about myself:

- Loves writing; applications to law school.
- Can't say no. Must do more.
- Full resume, empty head. Fools everybody.
- Life displayed. I'm in the dark.
- Gives great advice - could use some.
- Life's a book. Used Cliff's Notes.

Your turn...
