Wow, this looks tricky. 6 words. Is this going to be a book of 6 word sentences? I should go read back at the other chapters. I assume if Know-nothing wrote what she knew, it was a very short book.

    LOL...hi ya Zee! Yup, that blank sheet of paper wins all the time. The organizer decided to make a book of writer's 6-word memoirs because the contest was so popular. I know quite a bit of stuff...until I go to write about one of them...then nada.

    Thanks for your time and review, Zee. I appreciate it.

    Hi Indy, If I could plug an electrode into my brain when I go to bed, and have the dialogue in my brain flow onto the hard drive of my PC... I would have a book written in a weekend. It's in there... but when I use my motor skills to type, the flow gets clogged up around my nose... or worse. Perhaps if I sneeze or blow really big... ahhhh heck. You get the idea.

Lol this is quite amusing Indy. I always feel that I know nothing especially when it comes to trying to write as I can never think of anything to write about. Good luck

an interesting entry
very thought provoking
i'm not sure i understand it though
are you saying you know nothing but write what you know?
that's my take on it anyway lol

question....
[Know-nothing] <-- did you mean for this to be hyphenated?

anyway, a good entry
thank you for sharing and good luck in contest

    Hi Shelley! Thanks again for such a fun contest...it sure has been a hit with everyone. Thanks, too, for taking the time to comment and such a great review.
    Know-nothing is a hyphenated word and you were right...this is just a little humorous take on my life. Everyone is always telling us to "write what you know" but when that blank sheet of paper is staring at you in the face, I know not a thing.

This is a very intriguing entry

I'm liking it more as I think about it - a real enigma

This is one of my favourites in this contest - but there are quite a few that I like - it's going to be hard to vote on my outright fave.

Cheers

Hey, Indy. Great idea. Read a little strange at first, but then I got it. Should it be 'know-nothing'. I'm not sure. Might want to check it out. Regardless, I liked it!

    Hi ya DB. Yeah, I had a hyphen in there but it must have escaped in a edit I did. Thanks for the alert. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

LOL. Sounds like too many people thatI know. Good take on this contest. But I thought they were supposed to be auto biographical!!! <-;

Metaphors be with you!

This one's sad. Is that what you think. You're a dweeb that knows nothing? I beg to disagree Missy! This was a funny entry for the contest amongst others that took this seriously

    Thanks for the great review, Jude. I just feel way too young to write my life story...got way too much to do yet. I knew there was going to be lots of serious entries for this one so wanted to write a bit of humor since humor is a big part of my life. I'll never know everything I want to know, so I'll never be able to write what I know. LOL...I don't know what I just said!
