Glad you enjoyed it. Yes..an unusual contest indeed...six life-changing words, in a kind of memoir...though if one doesn't read the summary voting booth...it looks like it's a contest for a six word story...so, I think there was some confusion. This contest is part 2 of Shelley's book. She's planning on a part 3, when this one is over and done with...

Thanks for the review

I liked your presentation for this write, The graphics certainly helped. It is not easy to capture a story in six words. To me, his entry was a fragment of a line which made we want to read more to get the meaning of the adventure.

Thanks for the review, 2Flower. Glad you liked it. Six words...actually, six life-changing words, for the contest, are not much to work with...so, the content ties into my outlook that one of the greatest secrets of living is to make life an adventure. Have a marvelous day...;-)

yes...life forever changing...and the types of adventures change as I get older. I've tried to maintain the outlook that 'the greatest secret of living is to make life an adventure!'. ...this can involve personal, social, and spiritual adventures.

Thanks for the review...
Be well..

That sure would be nice. It's tiresome with the same old routine day in and day out. Some kind of adventure...anything would be great. Good luck

I've tried to maintain the outlook that ...'The greatest secret of living is to make life an adventure!', This is a technique that anyone can use to get the most out of life. Thanks for reviewing...Be well...;-)

Comment from queennsydney

Good

I have to day- I don't get the story at all. I see where you are going but i just don't think there is enough there yet to really feel what's going on. Good sentence though.

Thanks for the review, sydney. The contest asks for a memoir in six words. So these six words are a personal memoir...my search for new adventures. If it was just to write a story, I would have written something else..

Be well,

Your six words have described life - it is a never-ending quest.
Sometimes, though, it can hold more adventure than we bargained for. Very nice entry. Good luck.

Thanks for the review. I know it's difficult to review this extremely short pieces. I always looked at life as a big adventure. Hopefully we get to seek and find the adventures we wish to go on.... hey, FanStory's an adventure...;-)

i liked this one very much but wasn't sure if never-ending didn't count as two words but other than that i think it was an excellent entry...thanks so much yours, diana

Glad you liked it, diana. Shelley specified in the contest announcement that hyphenated words were to be counted as one word. Whew...six words are not much to work with, as you know. Thanks for reviewing this extremely short piece..;)

Be well,

First time I've ever found the promise of adventures ahead in just six words. Great job and good luck in the contest.
