In the 1920's, Ernest Hemmingway bet someone ten dollars that he could write a complete story in just six words.
He won that bet with these words: 'For sale: baby shoes, never worn.'
Isn't that genius? Six words, yet a myriad of possibilities.
I love the six words idea, and it's one that has spawned a thousand forum threads.
What would your six word story be?
As a romance writer, my mind turns inevitably towards love and love lost. How about these...
'One blue line. Two possible fathers.'
'Black dress. Red rose. Goodnight Love.'
'Her best friend. His secret love.'
I've just returned from Disney, so I can't resist this one. Sorry, Mickey!
'Minnie kissed Donald, don't tell Mickey.'
Lord, this is addictive! Have a go, it's really quite hard.
'Am still thinking, be right back...'
