Dorky Dad (sort of) tagged me to sum up my life in six words.
I say “sort of” because he used the words: “And I won’t oblige BookBeth to do this meme… but I won’t complain if I read it on her blog sometime in the near future.” It’s hard to resist such a decisive challenge.
Interesting. I’d previously posted about The Six-Word Memoir back in March 2007 inspired by Tim of Baby Got Books. I invited others to submit their creations and posted them on my blog. Some of us (myself included) also submitted our memoirs to Smith Magazine.
Last week I received an email from Smith Magazine alerting me to the fact the book Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure has been published with great success. (Is mine included? Don’t know.)
So, for Dorky Dad, I have once again summarized my life in six words and once again, I invite others to join me. Leave your memoir in the comments section and I’ll post them.
You can also submit to Smith Magazine. They’re going to publish yet another book. It’s simple to do and you could become a published writer!

Come on, you guys, play with me!

Those itchy feet will soon be scratched - by travel!
