Not dirty, not sad, yet complete.
Six word stories are great, but unfortunately the most impactful ones tend to be stories of woe, or jokes of a sexual nature. In the prior emotion can be extracted from loss, and a lack of words can convey said loss easily, like one is choked up. The latter benefits from euphemistic language and word substitution, since there are more puns and synonyms for the act of copulation (or it's subsidiaries) than nearly any other act. I tried a different route, and yet it lands with little impact, since it suffers from being neither.
I've done my best to do this very thing as well, with my StoryTrax episodes. They can stand on their own or be combined, but I strive to complete a story in a page, two at most. You learn quickly what to leave to the reader. Description is powerful, but lest you become like Tolkien and spend pages detailing the legend told by a leaf carved on an archway, steer clear of too much description. It helps to think the reader's imagination is as strong as yours, and will fill in details like hair color, action, and dress, unless otherwise needed to tell the story. Best of luck.
EDIT: Post took a couple minutes. For some reason I find extreme restraints in writing easier than more lax ones. 6 words allows you a limit you can envision in your mind, eliminating and recycling failures quickly. A thousand is just beyond rational comprehension of what it would take to tell a tale, and is a much harder project.
Wow, what a great comment man.
I appreciate your story. In life we tend to not celebrate the happier stories. Maybe there's a reason every story ends at, "happily ever after". Now you need to edit your comment and add in a link to your latest story trax. Plug away my friend. People NEED to read it.
I wont edit my prior post, just because I feel that might change the mood presented there, but I will GLADLY take the opportunity to plug in a new comment! XD I appreciate it, the StoryTrax are kinda my favorite blogs, even if they dont get much attention. I consider them my guilty pleasure.
