Meme memoir
I've been tagged by Joan to write a memoir. In six words. Not an easy task. Considering the pile of journals I've filled in years before I began blogging in 2004 in addition to all the factoids and fallacies I've neglected to write down.
Distill a life down to six words. It's kind of making your life into a marmalade: sweet and sour, syrupy and toothsome all in one bite.
Here is Joan's memoir. The originator of this meme is Bookbaby, who was inspired by the book Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure by Larry Smith and Rachel Fershleiser. M. Heart was also inspired and attempted to have her memoir included in the book. See what she had to say about the book last week.
Here are the meme rules.
1. Write your own six word memoir
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like
3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere
4 .Tag five more blogs with links
5. And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!
My Life in six words:
Book worm. Composter. Grows like gangbusters.
For the next round of memoir makers, I tag the following lovelies: Kristen, Janet, Bekka, Shannon and Nicole.
oh goodness, thank you for the tag. my muddled and jet-lagged brain will have to think on this one, although i do have a great photo for this so i'll have to wrap my words around that.
i've noticed the nigella cookbook in your sidebar...is it a good one? i love her.

Oh Rachel!
Grows like gangbusters...
Bet I won't see that one anywhere else :)
Thank you for sharing and also for taking the time to check out the source.
I should have added it but was so overextended that day!
Thank you again, and I look forward to your new seed!

:) I love your style Rachel and that meme completely encompasses it. You make me smile or laugh each time I come and I admire your ease with words. x
