About Six Word Story Every Day Group
THE HEMINGWAY CHALLENGE
Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was challenged to write a story in just six words. The result: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Hemingway regarded it as his greatest work.
Hemingway’s six word story and self-critique have never been verified but what is irrefutable is that great stories can be told in 60,000 words or just six.
Six Word Story Every Day started as a collaboration between Van Horgen, writer, and Anne Ulku, designer. It became a storytelling exploration through language and typography posted every day in 2010. See the archive of work posted every day on Flickr here: www.flickr.com/photos/sixwordstoryeveryday/sets/721576231...
We now happily invite the creative community to keep SWSED alive by creating your own stories.
Every day in 2011 we will feature a new story created by designers and writers like yourself. See the new website here: sixwordstoryeveryday.com/
If you would like to participate and be featured on our website, please send your stories to sixwordstoryeveryday@gmail.com. In the mean time, please add your stories to this Flickr group. If we have already featured you on our website, please feel free to add your story to this Group as well.
Please include your story text, name of writer/designer, website urls, Twitter, etc in your description. We may seek you out from this group and end up featuring your story on our website.
Hope you may find inspiration in this project and be intrigued to tell and create your own stories.
Sincerely,
Anne Ulku and Van Horgen
