Can you tell your (motherhood) story in 6 words?

April 24, 2008 in Blogging,Just Jayme,Motherhood,Writing

Pop on over at Smith Magazine’s Six Word Momoirs and give it a try.

I think writing a 1,000 word memoir is relatively easier than summing up everything you want to say in just 6 words. You have to think harder for words that will really capture the essence of what you mean.

Six Word Momoirs is actually a contest for moms, I entered two entries just for fun. :)

Smith Magazine also has Six-Word Memoirs where you can write your life story in, of course, just 6 words. I had to think harder for this one, can’t think of six words just yet.

Thanks to Write Now is Good for the heads up.

I’d love to know your six-word story. Fire away in the comments section below.

Have fun! :)

It’s never easy to say in six words about how great our mothers can be.

I would say: “She’s The Reason Behind My Life”

“Never Knew Unconditional Love Till Now”

“Added New Meaning to My Life”

Hi Jayme, hopped on over from your comment on my blog (thanks for stopping by!) I’m not married – but would like to be a mom some day – so I guess my version of a momoir would be: “Your name is tatooed in hope.” :)

Thanks for your responses everyone. :D

K: Very true.
Sarah: Sometimes I feel Unconditional love is not even enough to describe it.
Blue rose: Amen.
Mama Stone: Unexpected is certainly something I’ll use to describe my motherhood too.
J Ana: What a unique momoir!
Inventing Matilda: Can’t help but feel my child’s emotions times ten.

Hope you all have a great week ahead! :D
