Today’s link is wonderful for everyone but especially for those of you who love to read and/or write. This week there are several aspects to our Link of the Week.
First, this page is about a book, “Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six Word Memoirs by Famous and Obscure Writers.” Isn’t that a neat title?
I have only read examples from the book along with an interview with the co-author. I am hoping after you read this web page you will be inspired to write your own ‘six word memoir’ and send it to me at my e-mail address below so we can share some of them with our SFPNN readers.
Second, is where the book comes from: SmithMag.net.
They call themselves a “storytelling community: a place to read, write, and share stories. They have several Projects that they are taking submissions for. I hope many of you will get out your pens or keyboards and submit a story for: ’Brushes With Fame, Six Word Memoirs, and/or The Green Life’.
The third aspect is Omnivoracious itself [I love that word] which describes itself as a blog run by the book editors at Amazon.com… “We aim to share our passion for the written word through news, reviews, interviews, and more. This is our space to talk books and publishing frankly and we welcome participation through comments.”
“Let There be Peace on Earth and Let It Begin with Me…”
