    If I may be meta here, a writers' group I've recently joined is having a six-word-story challenge for the August meeting. 12 photo prompts, do six. I just got the prompts and everything I'm coming up with depends on having the image as illustration. Not the way it works, I know. But it's frustrating.

    Currently Reading::
    TRYING (!!!) to read Eric Flint's "Ring of Fire" series.......it's soooo many books!!!!!
    Dawn breaks, birds sing, work starts.

    (Hemingway apparently wrote: "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn." - is this the inspiration for this thread? - PM me if that's better than replying here, just in case it is bad manners to pose a question like that here.....)

    I think the inspiration is “write the shortest story possible in six words.”
