Following the mighty footsteps of Ernest Hemingway who wrote a story with six words for a bet worth ten dollars (the story is found here) , I have put my writing skills to the test. I have written ten stories with six words,some of them an inspiration from a movie, since unlike Hemingway my life hasn’t been that dramatic. Enjoy!
- He cheated. She won the lottery.
- A wedding. “Bridal march” never played.
- He died. She could see him.
- His leg snapped. Best selling book.
- After years of waiting, “I do.”
- Years of writing. Pen finally breaks.
- Unsinkable ship. Love frozen in time.
- The basketball player. Rejected by bookworm.
- She loves him. He loves Luke.
- A funeral. Five wives. Eighteen children.
i have to try that…. 😀
Great!!! Love this!
Haha. What a change that would be from writing a whole novel! Cool idea.
I like it, very clever and very poetic.
Wow! This is pretty cool! Now I want to try it! My favorite is number 1!! Lol
Hey I like that! I'll give it try!
Clever idea. I love Hemingway!
Hahahahha…. that is very cool! I didn't know Hemingway made a bet like that… and he won.
That is pretty cool! 🙂
I saw something like this at Coach Eli's place too, and it is such a fun concept to play around with it!! You did great.
That is a fun concept. Number nine made me laugh.
Great idea. My husband writes, I'll have to suggest this to him.
I did one of these in a college writing class about a bee. I can't remember it though :/
I'm still laughing at #1. He cheated, she won the lottery. What irony!
What a fun activity. This would be great to do with my kids who are still in school.
That is so clever not sure I would be able to do just 6 words though I seem to have trouble keeping things short! x
I remember reading about the short story in my Lit class in college. I love that you gave it a try and came up with some really cool "stories" yourself. You could make sequels on some of those! LOL!
You did great. Loved them all. <br /><br />We came. We liked. We commented! 🙂
This is cool! I have to try doing this too. 🙂
What a cool post! I think I saw this floating on FB too
How fun! I am just not this creative but you did a great job!
Great job on this. I don't know if I would be able to come up with much. I love yours some of them cracked me up.
Great job. I have to try this.
Oh wow this seems challenging but I love writing and using my creativity. I've never heard of a 6 word story before. Pretty cool. I recognized one of them from a movie, that was neat. I bet it would be a lot of fun to try and describe movies with 6 words too. Something tells me I'll be mentally doing this today 🙂
Great idea , simple yet fun.
So cool and it is challenging to write a six word stories. You did it!
love it, great idea xx
