Comments on 'Six Word Memoirs CHALLENGE'Six-word-memoirs Challenge
37signals (http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/846-six-sells) is running a story about "six word memoirs", and I thought it might make a good challenge.
RULES
1. Write a memoir (story about a significant event in your life, or something encompassing your entire life as a whole).
2. It must be exactly SIX WORDS LONG
3. If your memoir is under the minimum 64 character limit (good job!), hit return a few times then fill up to 64 characters with periods..........
