I’ve always loved the idea behind the six-word story. 🙂 Did you know that it began with Ernest Hemmingway, who claimed that he could write a great story in six words or less? His was: “For sale: baby shoes. Never worn.” One of my personal favorites is from John Mayer: “This heart doesn’t come with instructions.” The adorable Taylor Swift also wrote a clever one: “My diary is read by all.” This is a great post!
My submission(s):
