I mentioned earlier this week — kind of buried in a longish post — the six-word autobiography phenomenon started by a book, Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure.
I declined from attempting this writing task at the time, although I did ask readers how they’d sum up their lives in six words.
Later in the week, I made an attempt:
Seeking, learning, striving; vision, passion, strength
What do you think? I don’t know what I think of it yet, I don’t yet know how accurate it is; but it’s not likely to share the fate of so many of the published memoirs these days, debunked as works of fiction.

I think it’s good! It will be fun to see how each of those strong words apply to you the longer I know you.
