Six-Word
Lessons™
Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was challenged by some friends
to write a story in six words.
Hemingway responded to the challenge with the following
story:
For sale:
baby shoes, never worn.
The story tickles the
imagination. Why were
the shoes never worn?
Were they too small? Did
the baby die? Was the baby not able to wear shoes?
Any of these are plausible explanations left up to the
reader’s imagination.
This style of writing has a
number of aliases:
postcard fiction, flash fiction, micro fiction, and sudden fiction.
This extreme brevity of writing directly applies in today’s
micro-burst communication culture of text messages, tweets, and wall
posts. Thus the
inspiration for Six-Word Lessons for Project
Managers.
