Six-word stories.
These are attributed to Hemingway.
That may be a fable in itself, as it appears they have been around for a long time, with tales relating many of them from before he was in writing form. However, the memoir stream on the six-word story developed just a little while back. According to Wikipedia, the beginnings came from the online magazine Smith Magazine, whose goals relate to storytelling. From the magazine, they moved to Twitter and even a book series. Clearly it has become a popular way to focus on both creativity and deep thought about an important matter—life direction, events and meaning.
And that is what Chuck has compiled here, from sixwordmemoirs websites. Ten word pictures that could be your station or ministry story. An example of what you and your team can locate online or develop yourself to use on air! Six-word stories that cut to the core…or the quick. Pause. Read. Consider.
