October Writing Challenge: 6 Word Story "Adoption"

10/30/2016

October Writing Challenge from www.victoriaminks.com! Can you do a 6-word-story? Mine is called

Well I learned something, you all. I really should have picked a narrower topic for the 6 word story. Do you realize how hard it is to just pick 6 random words out of thin air and string them together into something sort of coherent? lol. I finally had to just sit down and write whatever came into my head. Believe me, that ended up in about 42 words of "meh". But, the plus side is that while I have my favorite (below), I'll also be nice and share a few of the other ones too...just because I'm sweet like that. haha! Ok so first one?

Adoption:
Empty Arms. We Adopted. Happy Hearts.

Sniff...I'd adopt right now if I could! I just think adoption is amazing, and I love it so much. Giving kids a real home, and making them yours...there's just something extra special about it. So, it just was one of the topics that popped in my head. Ready for a couple random ones?

WWII:
Bombs left books free for kids.

(This is in reference to a picture I absolutely love from WWII Britain...a little boy reading books in the street outside a bombed out bookstore.)

Oxygen:
Hospital kid: Oxygen tubes and balloons.

No idea where this one came from really. :P

Well that's all for today! How did your October writing challenge go, everybody? Did you have as much trouble as me? Leave me a comment below telling me what you thought! :)

Have a lovely day!

Wow! These are really impressive actually. So creative and unique! I LOVE the first one. My sentiments exactly. It was just so perfect and sweet. :) Didn't know only six words could have such an impact! I must admit, though, I thought either you were mistaken or I had read your post wrong. Later, after I had read the challenge, I was thinking about it and thought,"She must have meant six sentences, surely not six words!" LOL. Shows my lack of faith. Ugh. ;) You pulled it off beautifully! Thanks for sharing! I always love your stories. <3
