Six-Word Memoirs

An interesting little book is capturing a lot of media attention these days. I just ordered my copy, as a matter of fact. Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure by Larry Smith is self-described as:

Deceptively simple and surprisingly addictive, Not Quite What I Was Planning is a thousand glimpses of humanity - six words at a time.
One Life. Six Words.
What's Yours?
When Hemingway famously wrote, "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn," he proved that an entire story can be told using a half dozen words. When the online storytelling magazine SMITH asked readers to submit six-word memoirs, they proved a whole, real life can be told this way too. The results are fascinating, hilarious, shocking, and moving. From small sagas of bittersweet romance ("Found true love, married someone else") to proud achievements and stinging regrets ("After Harvard, had baby with crackhead"), these terse true tales relate the diversity of human experience in tasty bite-sized pieces. From authors Jonathan Lethem and Richard Ford to comedians Stephen Colbert and Amy Sedaris, to ordinary folks around the world, everyone has a six-word story to tell.

"Everyone has a six-word story to tell".

The premise kinda grabbed me, I must admit. So I thought I'd give it a shot. Little did I know that I'd struggle for over an hour trying to summarize my life (so far) in 6 words. Here are some I considered:

I said I would. I did.

Please tell me it's getting better.

What if I'm wrong? Can't be.

Good so far. Jury still out.

I always start tomorrow. Why's that?

only to finally settle on this:

"Autism interrupted. That's OK. We're happy."

So what's your story?
