365 of 6 words

Aight, I started this blog as an exercise in writing every day. So far, I've been a huge slacker. I write for work, almost every day, but I rarely write at home. Recently, I was very inspired by SMITH magazine's project to publish six word memoirs, by professional and amature writers alike. They adapted the idea from a possibly mythical challenge to Ernest Hemingway- write a story in just six words. His read "For Sale; Baby shoes, never worn."

I absolutely love the simplicity/complexity of this challenge. The more I write, the more verbose I seem to get. So... I am challenging myself to write 6 words every day. If I miss a day, the next day I'll write two. Two sets of 6.

#1 Your big scary love changed everything.
