    I love 6 word stories! Thank you for reminding me to go request Not Quite What I Was Planning (note the six-word title) from the library, it’s a collection of six word stories.

    I haven’t written my own yet, but I’m thinking about it. So many words, such a lot of life…and I have to choose just 6? It overwhelms my dreamy brain!
