Description:

This swap was originally hosted by @AlyssD and she has given me permission to host it here. I thought it would be a great, fun swap for this group!

This swap is inspired by the book: “Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure” (Harper Collins, 2008).

You will write your memoir in only 6 words on the back of a postcard and send it to two partners. Six words—no more, no less. Postcard is sender’s choice.

Think of your life and sum it up in 6 words…it’s easier said than done…but fun!

For inspiration, look at this site Here are some great ones:

Painful nerd kid, happy nerd adult. - Linda Williamson

Extremely responsible, secretly longed for spontaneity. - Sabra Jennings

The psychic said I'd be richer. - Elizabeth Bernstein

RECAP:

• Write a memoir using 6 words (no more, no less)

• Write the memoir on a PC of your choice

• Send PC to your two (2) partners

Group guidelines apply. I will angel this if necessary. Newbies welcome. Don't just jot down six words. Put some thought into this…it’ll be interesting and eye-opening. ;-)
