Can you tell a story in just six words?
Ernest Hemingway was challenged to do just that in the 1920s, and it resulted in what he considered to be his best work: “For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn.”
I was inspired by Hemingway’s challenge, and thought that a website all about super short stories would be pretty cool – so I made one! Six Word Stories is a daily-updated collection of the best six word stories — written by famous authors, amateurs from around the world, and submitted by fans of the site. It also has its own Twitter Feed.
This site launched just a week ago, and it’s already a big success! Over 500 stories have been submitted, and it’s had 50,000 unique visitors in the past two days. Check out Six Word Stories and let me know what you think.
