In the blogosphere, kitchy sites abound. One shows secrets written on postcards. [www.postsecret.com] This led to a related chatroom. The chatroom recently solicited six-word secrets. This was based on a book. A best-selling book that made money. Six-word synopses are the current rage. [www.smithmag.net/sixwords]
Why six and who picked it? That seems to be a secret.
My shopping hiatus knows no secrets. It needs no silly word limitations. When you can't shop, you die. (At least a part of you.) There's rebirth in writing about it. But not using just six words. That additional restriction seems unnecessarily cruel. Not at all poetic or interesting.
In fact, it seems rather boring.
Maybe writers should try three-word alliterations. Six-word secrets suck. Fashion foibles frustrate. Hiatus hinders Halloween.
Or maybe, writers should just go back to writing and stop trying to be cute for a buck.
