6 Word Memoirs

 

This week I stumbled across this interesting project/website: 6 Word Memoirs

Smith Magazine created the 6 word project in 2006, and have since published a book full of these 6 word memoirs (click photo above for link to book).

I cannot see the horizon today.

Not terribly memoir driven, but fun nonetheless.  Give this project a whirl!
