Last year, during a blog writing challenge, some people wrote six word posts. I truly did not get it! Why? What can six words tell you? Furthermore, it really irritated me that many others were commenting on these six word posts! One of them had nine comments by 4 p.m.! I really did not understand what the attraction was to these super short posts! Therefore, I never wrote one. It is very true that my posts border on too lengthy but never too short.
But, today, I think I got it. I finally understood why people would write these six word posts!
They wanted to write.
Maybe, they had more to say.
But, they were tired.
They were short on time.
During the challenge, participants are supposed to write a blog post each day.
Thus, a six word post!
Today, I have a reason for a super short blog post.
It’s not six words, but less than 200 words, and a lot less than what I usually write.
So, my super short blog post (A.K.A. Six Word Post Plus) is this:
I’m exhausted! I got a job!
Finally! I understand the six word post!

I’ve never tried the 6 word posts, but enjoyed reading your story leading up to those 6 words. They left me wondering…exhausted from looking for a job or exhausted because of the job. 🙂

LOL. I guess I wasn’t clear, then! I got a job and started on Monday! I am exhausted because of all the mental work I’m doing at the job! Thanks for your comments!

I have done 6 word memoir with kids and for myself but I don’t think I have ever just posted that for the blog…it is an interesting idea.

I think it would be a fun thing to try with kids because while it sounds easy….it is not. (And, as you might have noticed, I still did not write one! ) Thanks for visiting!

I did my first 6-word memoir (well, first one I published) a few weeks ago. Interestingly, while I went into it expecting a bit of a respite from blogging, it took me a while to polish the words I wanted to write. Who knew? And congratulations on your job!

Thanks! I do believe when a six word post is a true six word post (mine wasn’t), it takes talent to craft a good one! I will go check yours out! Thanks for visiting!

Your post made me smile. I totally understand the six-word post and have used it once or twice. (and I agree with Amanda, it’s not easy to write one) But I just wrote a lengthy post about being exhausted!! I think I was just happy to be communicating with my peeps!

I am glad you enjoyed it….I tired to make it tongue and cheek and I realize I still didn’t truly write a six word post. Brevity does take talent. It does! Thanks!
