we become the fictions we create
Welcome to “We Become the Fictions We Create,” a six-word memoir contest for students, faculty, and staff. What is a six-word memoir? Here is an example (perhaps apocryphal) by Ernest Hemingway: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”
The contest guidelines are simple: send your six-word memoir through this Google form link by midnight on September 27, 2019. The winners will be announced on October 4, 2019.
We love words in the Learning Commons, so your six-word memoir can be comic or tragic, terrifying or ridiculous, but it should reveal some element of your true nature. Have fun. We look forward to reading your work.
