As 2013 comes to a close, it’s tempting to try to figure out the year’s defining essence. But who can possibly say? There was tragedy, there was triumph. Some disappointed, others wildly exceeded exceptions. I don’t think I’m alone in saying that when examining my personal life in 2013, the bag is just as mixed. However, it has certainly has been a big year for us at Six-Word Memoirs with our site re-design and wildly successful Six-Word Festival on Twitter. No matter how 2013 has treated you, we wish you all the very best for the year ahead—here’s to many more!
