What's Your 6-Word Memoir on Love & Heartbreak?
This past fall, She Writers from around the world were abuzz with our "Why I Write" Six Word Memoir Contest. The winner, Amy Hartl Sherman, wrote this beauty which became our newest She Writes t-shirt: "Write it down. Set it free."
Now, it's time to dig in to that box of chocolates and your imagination once again: In theme with Valentine's Day, SMITH Magazine has invited She Writes members to weigh in on how YOU sum up Love & Heartbreak in 6 Words.
What say you, wise and witty She Writers? We can't wait to hear your pithy insights!
**Also, for any She Writers in NY, SMITH is hosting "Married by Elvis. Divorced by Friday": A Six-Word Memoir Story Slam on Love & Heartbreak" tonight, Monday, Feb. 14th, at the 92Y Tribeca.
