Quotes / six word memoir

too bland for a memoir, six word limit considered.

I like it. Writers do that. What would we do without the writer to spice up our lives? It is clear and has a good meaning.  it also says a great deal about how you think. Sandi

I read quite a few of these now.  It seems we Ubisites are a serious crowd.  What I noticed in SMITH’s first volume is that they leaned toward self deprecating, pithy quotes.  Hope they get us.  I liked it.

hi there,

i like your quote, you sound very interesting..and we are what we write!...jim

This statement seems to lack an overall clarity.  If you’re a mystery writer then it’s true, but truly what is brought to life, the sentence is incomplete.  I would suggest proper punctuation and grammar.  

Intrigue is a word I love. And I know both mystery and intrigue are two things many writers want to bring to their pieces. Therefore, I think your word choice here is rather good. However, I don’t like the set up of the memoir. It is just basically a style thing but when reading it I didn’t like how “I bring to life” came last. I know it gives the memoir a more interesting and maybe daring structure; I just don’t think it rolls of the tongue or is appealing to read. I would rather it be simplied to “I bring to life mystery and intrigue.” But also where would be the mystery and intrigue in that? Maybe your choices work for the kind of writing you wish to create.

Narcissism…it means everything to me.

Is this a review or your six word memoir?

I like the use of all lower case lettering – it accentuates the topic.  

I’m not the biggest fan of this one. I think you can make it better by replacing the comma with a semicolon after intrigue. Good luck.
