In thinking of Six Word Stories, my mind keeps going back to existing stories… to short lines that might wrap up the whole story, or represent it. Which is not helping me, with trying to think of my own Six Word Stories! However, I think it’s good to get them out, to not have them lingering in my head.

I like Twitter more in the mobile app – you can save drafts of Tweets. That’s helpful for a project like this, where I might be thinking of multiple Six Word Stories at once – but not necessarily wanting to flood Twitter with them. Write them up, think them over, and post them a bit at a time.

I also tend to think of them later in the week, starting Wednesday or Thursday, with the Saturday post in mind!

So, in thinking about the idea of the Six Word Story, it got me thinking of the elements of a story. And when you get down to the basics, a story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Well, that works just about right for a 6-word story. But does it tell us much? Read more of this post

Here’s my first Six Word Saturday! I have started posting some #sixwordstory stories to my Twitter (@dbc_ii), to see what I like for Saturday when it rolls around!

In some ways, this one felt like cheating: by adding the Twitter hashtag, I was giving you a way to think about the six word story that might be considered to be breaking the rules of said story. It’s a seventh word. It’s a concept. A genre. #zombies.

However, this one was also interesting, in that it almost immediately got noticed and shared by a feed that’s just watching for stuff that is tagged #zombies. So I thought that was fun and worth sharing.

Want to see more #sixwordstory? Follow me on Twitter or check back next Saturday for more Six Word Saturday! Want to join in? I am not alone in using #sixwordstory; there’s a lot of different types of stories being told!
