I came across a very interesting (and deceptively challenging) writing prompt earlier this week that I thought I'd share here:
If you tried to write your autobiography in six words, what would you write?
So, I wrote a few rough drafts...
I tried to think of others.
I strove for balance in life.
I endeavored to live with intention.
I dedicated my life to conservation.
I surrounded myself with natural beauty.
I sought knowledge, happiness, and meaning.
...admittedly, they collectively add up to more than six words. I'm not yet sure if the final draft would be one of those sentences listed above, a variation thereof, or something altogether different. The question still has me thinking about my life and how, at the end of the day (or lifetime), it could be summarized.
What about you? Try writing your six word autobiography (either on your life thus far or your life as you hope to live it) below. And feel free to leave more than one rough draft, as I've done!

This is a great topic! I suppose mine would be:
I was deliberate, passionate and loyal.
Excellent!
All good qualities!
I posted this over at another blog of mine to see what other friends of mine might say. I've been waiting for someone to write an autobiography that's just plain funny (rather than the serious angle that you and I have taken) and sure enough, a friend on another site just replied with: "Reply still hazy; ask again later." Too cute, eh?

I'm kidding but I have
I'm kidding but I have always been fascinated by sex, dating, relationships, love and all of that. It is fun though you have to admit!

Certainly. And I did suspect you were kidding. Something tells me you're a pretty multi-faceted kind of gal.
