Our second Six-Word Festival on Twitter starts off ​to an inspired start with a word (six of them, to be exact) to the wise. This is your chance to offer guidance with brevity, show you’re in-the-know, and share your wisdom with the masses. Whatever your recommendations, be sure to make them in just Six Words. Here’s how and when you can join in:

Wednesday, June 4 — 1:00pm EDT
Prompt: “The Best Advice in Six Words”
Tweet: My #sixwordadvice “SIX WORDS OF YOURS GO HERE” @sixwords #sixwords
e.g., My #sixwordadvice “Laughter is good for the abs.” @sixwords #sixwords

Molly Ringwald (@MollyRingwald) is best-known as an 80’s teen idol from John Hughes’ classic smash-hits including 16 Candles and Pretty in Pink. This actress, author, and singer aptly characterized her talents in her own Six-Word Memoir: “Acting is not all I am.” Her Six-Word challenge: “The Best Advice in Six Words”

We’re thrilled to be joined by Maria Shriver (@mariashriver), the Peabody and Emmy award-winning journalist and producer who is a best-selling author and former First Lady of California.We’ll also hear from her daughter, Katherine Schwarzenegger (@KSchwarzenegger), an author with a knack for advice in her latest I Just Graduated…Now What?.

We’ll kick off this challenge with WNYC (@WNYC), home to New York’s flagship public radio stations. Their award-winning programming has a worldwide digital audience and reaches more than a million weekly listeners in the New York area.
