In perusing "The Best American Nonrequired Reading of 2007", I came across a selection of six word memoirs, which prompted this contest! I am looking for your six word memoir, preferably with a bit of humor, but it's got to stand out. Keep your entry at SIX words, no more and no less or you face disqualification.
Examples:
"Bad brakes discovered at high speed."
Or:
"Found true love, married someone else."
Or my own personal favorite:
"Wasn't born a redhead, fixed that."
The absolute only rule is that your entry MUST BE SIX WORDS!
Have fun, lovelies.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 17, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 400
- Final notes: This was a doozy of a contest to judge. Never did I think I'd get so many entries, nor did I imagine getting such creativity! Each of you deserve an award and points as it is the holiday season; alas, I must abide by the original rules of the contest & grant only one! I may run another contest in this nature in the future, perhaps with a twist? Keep your eyes open!
Best wishes & happy holidays!
