Quotes / Yet another six word writing quote

I would hate to write a one word review so I had to think beyond my first reaction, which was wow. I think your word choice is amazing and very deliberate. I especially like the use of “ink” because it gets down to the most raw and even rare form of writing now. I mean you have typed it on the computer but hopefully you still have the belief, as I do, that the most powerful words are handwritten in ink.

hi there,

i get your point which is good but the word bare doesn’t seem to fit for some reason..i’m not good enough to find that word or pharse to modify this memoir, but i’m sure you can, cause this would be a good one based on your idea…:)jim

Very good. Concise and clearly states your message. I might suggest replacing “life” for “life’s” as the contraction of life and is; that way, it feels more like a complete thought than a sentence fragment.

Hmm. This one makes you think. To me it means that your life is always written down. Yuor birth certificates, licensec, and when you get a job. Yuo are always siging things siging your life away. When we write down in our journals or write stories a piece of us is always a part of that. That quote deifnalty makes you think.

Wow. Thats all I got. Its one of those phrases that bounces around and around in your head. Wish I thought of it….. wow…..

There’s something… I think it’s the words “laid bare” that don’t quite sit right with me. They don’t seem to flow seamlessly with the ink imagery (I can’t put any better than that). But I can’t think of any suggestions, so you can more or less disregard this qualm.

Other than that, it’s very clear, concise (kinda necessitated by the 6-word requirement), and, as an explanation of a writer/ink artist’s life and work, very fitting.

This is particularly good, I like it, its especially strong when reading it because of the duel meanings behind the words and there interpretation. As for a written qoute its great, but perhaps not so strong verbally.
Good work

Many thanks Gavin. Sometimes a soft word is just as powerful as a strong one.

God that sounds anal and pretentious.

I love it!  I can not find flaw in this.  We put it all out there leaving ourselves exposed.

Thank you for confirming my genius :)

so true, if you write that’s all your life is. like it

I like it, but some reason I originally read it as “My bare life laid in ink”. I liked that, but I also like what you really said. What you wrote stresses that it’s the actual “inking” of your life on paper that is making it bare, not that it was bare already.

Great Work.
