Can You Tell a Story in Six Words?

Think you can tell a story in six words?

I mean EXACTLY six words?

Sound impossible?  It's not...but I'll tell you one thing: it's hard, really hard.

Go ahead and try it...just for the heck of it. 

Nobody has to see it.  

Unless you want to share it.  If that's the case, you can share it with others as part of a cool contest and submit it here. 

 In fact, you can write several stories, not just one.

Many thanks to Liz Strauss at Successful and Outstanding Bloggers for pointing out the contest. 

After chewing on this for a while, here's what I'll be submitting:

#1.  "Write story.  Make millions.  Save world."

#2.  "Practice!  Practice!!  Practice!!!  Perform.  Sign contract."

#3.   "Smash!  He grinned.  Finally.  Now what?"

#4.  "Born a killer.  Died a saint." 

#5.  "In between her smiles, despair danced."

#6.  "A thought appeared...then disappeared...then..."

#7.  "Hey, wait for me!  Too late." 

#8.  "Tom films.  Tells story.  Grins endlessly."

 Well, that's a wrap for me.  Speaking of filmming...

...Gotta go.  Gotta customer.  Gotta film!

Thanks for the love and pointing to the post about Robert's contest. All the credit is really his for thinking it up. :) He's over at http://middlezonemusings.blogspot.com/

I like your stories. More. More.

"Your film?" she said. "It's brilliant!"

Your life. The story you're writing.
