Not long ago, I purchased a copy of Not Quite What I Was Planning: 6 Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure. It is a book that confirms beyond a question of doubt that brevity is indeed the source of wit.
So what would this obscure writer say if she were asked to contribute a pithy yet telling 6 word biography? Here are the possibilities (I'll let you pick your favorite)...
Plays hard, has many bruises.
Always takes the scenic route.
Feet built for heels; knees disagreed.
Always wears mascara; doesn't own hairbrush.
Never learned to ride bike. Walks.
Brilliant moments balanced by frequent incoherence.
Always makes it work...usually.
From hiking boots to high heels.
Played to win; lost often.
Bought friends with baked goods.
Jeans didn't fit thighs. Blamed genes.
Many boyfriends and yet still single.
Laughs loud, often.
I read too much Jane Austen.
Learned to embrace carbohydrates and thighs.
