"Beautiful essay, Sarah! My own contact with some of the best books ever written took place mostly before I was 24 years old. Maybe I'll give some of those classics another try."
Six Word Memoir Contest: "Why I Write"
We have chosen a winner: AMY HARTL SHERMAN, who wrote this beauty:
Write it down. Set it free.
And huge thanks to our inspiration for the six-word memoir contest, SMITH magazine, creators of the six-word memoir project. SMITH is currently accepting submissions for its newest collection (to be published by Harper Collins), "The Moment: An Instant When Your Life Changed."
Please feel free to continue adding your WHY I WRITE six-word memoirs, here, as well! Maybe a book is in She Writes' future, too.
