Our book Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure is now featured in Time Magazine in an article about our country’s new fondness for brevity.

Short is in. Online Americans, fed up with e-mail overload and blogorrhea, are retreating into micro-writing. Six-word memoirs. Four-word film reviews. Twelve-word novels. Mini-lit is thriving.

Eight. Two groups of four.
A pair and another twice.
All across the board.

Needs four coats total.
One thin coat every day.
Sanding in between.

Right tools for the job:
Saws, hammers, chisels, brushes,
And some sort of plan.

Race to our jive game.
He rests his case, she hers too.
Camera action.

A sailor’s scar ails.
Social arcs. Hair coils. Chic. Class.
Colors crash. Cool. Chills.

Synopses of flicks
Wrapped up in seven haiku.
I’m so digging this.

Thirty-two shared bars.
You say your thing, I’ll say mine.
We’re democracy.

Here we are, days in.
Aquarius in the air.
Things are getting weird.

Following my muse
Is what I have always done.
Now it follows me.

If I was a bird,
I wonder what I’d wish for
If I was human.

‘Leven, o seven.
What a diff’rence a year makes.
Leaves turning color.

Maybe I’m crazy,
But I hear approaching sounds
Of clicking noises.

There you go again
So much better than last year.
Catch you in ‘08.
