What is the six-word memoir, exactly?
​
It’s a story told in only six words, of course! This activity requires writers to boil a story down to its core, then summarize it in half a dozen words. Most writers hone in on a deep topic or pivotal experience, but existential themes aren’t a requirement. Common memoir themes include life and death, love, loss, and even religion.
