Six Word Memoir T-Shirts

Not one for having your heart on your sleeve? Maybe you'd want to wear your life on a shirt. Smith Magazine is now offering t-shirts featuring its six word memoirs. You can use one from their book, Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure, or design your own angst. As their tagline says, "Everyone has a story."

Woohoo for Pat Wahler and Her New Blog Critter Alley

Congrats to Coffee and Critiquer Pat Wahler whose six word memoir on Love and Heartbreak will be in the book of the same name in Feb 09. She found the submission info about Smith Magazine's fun six word tomes on this blog and was kind enough to tell me so.

She's also taken the brave foray into blogging, so go check out her blog Critter Alley where she blogs about cute critters (do not confuse these with critique group members, although we can be as fluffy as woodland creatures at times). And don't forget to congratulate her.

Submissions Wanted: Six Word Memoirs on Love and Heartbreak and Being a Mom

Mine with visual aid: Never leave children, alone at zoo.


Smith, the people who brought you the six-word memoir are looking for submissions for two new books - Six-Word Memoirs on Love and Heartbreak and Six-Word Momoirs about being a mother.

So even if you haven't had a lot of writing time recently, you know you can come up with six words.

You can see some examples on their website.
