Non-fiction / Six Word Submission

this was definitely awesome! Good luck with it

Short, sweet and to the point. Perhaps there is a way to embelish the 3 stages with stronger or more imaginitive words?

A lot of these 6 word memoirs read like headstones in a graveyard. This one certainly does. I’m not a huge fan of this one, whether because the mention of truth and love with no reference/explanation rubs me the wrong way or just because these items in general can’t be expanded upon (after all, the format is to accomplish a task in only 6 words), but I’m not digging this one. Went mad. Pursued truth. Found love. I might add “So what?” Who are you? What makes this unique? I submit that many people could say the same, but there are no conclusions to be drawn from these statements. You need to pose questions for the reader, as in the Hemingway example with the baby shoes. WHY were they never worn? Why did you go mad, pursue truth, or even find love? THAT’S what we’re interested in, not the outcomes.

You contradicted yourself in your review. If you were prompted to even ponder the “why” after reading this than I consider it a success. I read all of your submissions by the way. If you would like me to review any of them, let me know.
