About a year and a half ago I read about Six Word Memoirs - small snippets of writing that describe a situation, a life, whatever - and wrote about it here ...And I wrote about it in my church newsletter and had people come up with their own six word memoirs. Mine was "Farm Girl, City Girl, Farm Girl" - which I submitted to the publisher Smith Magazine because they were putting together a new book called:
It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure
About 4 or 5 months ago I got an email saying if I was OK with it, they were considering my 6-W-M for their newest book and of course, I said "YES! Go for it!"
Today I got another email from Smith Magazine that my six words had indeed been chosen and the book is set for release on January 5th. I have been published - all six words!!
Ha, ha, ha! IS THAT COOL OR WHAT!?!?!?!?!?
