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.
