For sale: baby shoes, never worn ...
above is Ernest Hemmingways six word story.
online readers to write the story of their life in a six word sentence and ended up with this delightful book.
If I were asked to write the story of my life in just six words, I would either write:
"I shouldn't have married a Coonass."
or...
"I'm still dancing in the rain."
Believe me when I say, the first story started 26 years ago and is closely related to the second one.
What would your six word story be?

I happened across this blog after plugging in the words a friend recent spoke to me,
"It's about how we dance in the rain."
I am an artist of sorts. First, a visual artist--a published children's book illustrator; secondly, "photographer"; thirdly, a designer of all things creative(!) and lastly, while I don't consider myself a writer...it is a passion to write. To contemplate. The power of the written word. The release from that form of expression is like none other.
So...when the words,
"What would your six-word story be?" crossed my computer screen...it allowed for a moment of serious thought.
Hmm....WHAT would be my six-word story?
THAT is going to take some thought.
I have recently found myself amidst a life-altering situation. Lost people I considered friends. Lost my job. And have come close to losing my mind!!!
YET...I still TRY to find the postitives in an otherwise unfortunate situation.
Thus...the "dance in the rain"
As I do not know how to blog, I do not want to ramble on forever. I will contemplate that 6-word thing, and return at a later date.
Thank you for giving me an interesting perspective.

Insanity. My life. Not my defense.
