This Boy's Six Life
When people ask me, “How was your day?” I never really know the straightforward, completely appropriate answer. “Good,” “bad,” and “okay” are too short. And I’m sure the person listening to you doesn’t want to hear you rattle off everything you did today.
One approach: answer in six words.
Inspired by SMITH’s Six-Word Memoir project, Austin Lafferty started a blog, A Year in My New Life…, about his recent college transfer and his journey at his new school at the University of North Dakota. Each day, Austin posts a new Six-Word Memoir. He writes about something that just happened to him (“Got dumped by a four year-old.”), how he felt about the whole day (“Noodles. Dave and Busters. Good Friday.”), or offer honest, reflective thoughts about himself. (March 23: “I need to learn to commit.”).
Six Words, Plus Four More
It's no secret that in the world of SMITH we’re a fan of the short form, with six being the magic number. But what’s the problem with four more words? There isn’t one according to Ten Word Wiki.
Like the go-to information cultivation of the full-fledged Wikipedia.org, Ten Word Wiki’s mission is the same: to provide its visitors with answers for all those random questions you may have or for the last-minute help you always need on your papers and essays. The only difference is that Ten Word Wiki’s entries are only (you guessed it…) ten words long.
