Ernest Hemingway 6 word story.

Hi, I saw this on a site and thought it would be good for anyone who wants to start on a story, who feels like writing is good for them.
You could check out the site too for more information regarding writing,it is www.mywriterscircle.com
So her it goes, Hemingway had this story that was only composed of six words. He said it in an interview once.

Some examples include: "You promised. You lied. Hate you."
"She saw him and ran to him."
"Brown eyes, frown,fist, many frustations."
"Love you. You cheated. Liar."

Now you try it...

  3. Hi, Dora I like your blog, especially this Hemingway story, so if I may ask what exactly is the relevance of a 6 word story?

  4. Hi leila, thank you. I am glad you love my blog. Hemingway as a great writer did have certain tips that are very useful to anyone who loves writing. The 6 word story was proof to an interviewer that Hemingway was creative nad imaginative, he was asked the shortest story he had ever written and he said: "For sale. Baby shoes. Never used."
    See, you could build a story out of this short story and create a theme, plot, settings and include vibrant characters. It acts as an ice breaker and most of all can help you build a cool story no stress.
