This morning, I decided to work on some six word stories for something a little different. I sat at my desk and thought about my morning and how I could incorporate my experiences into some six word stories.
Eyes like sandpaper. Exhausted. Yawning. TIRED.
Calculating carefully, ignoring the gas gauge.
Early morning fog envelops the countryside.
School: Laughing students learning collaborating growing.
Post It Notes losing their stickiness.
Too many books? Not in here!
Blank notebook page waits for words.
Slow internet derails my morning routine.
This is beautiful. I was thinking about writing a poem today (for my slice), but I think I’ll try some six word stories instead.

I always enjoy the powerful punch of six word stories. Your gas gauge line had me smiling in solidarity. Drove to work that way just this morning–but sadly will have to stop for gas before I can head home.

Oh, I’ve been there with the gas gauge… and I’ve been playing around with 6 word stories, too. Thinking of following you & Stacey today and publishing my own…

These are a cool idea…one I could see working with young writer’s on creating. They might encourage careful word choice like writing haiku. Short but powerful. I’ll have to try it. Thanks for sharing the idea and your work. I like the one about fog enveloping the countryside.
