This could catch on – a new genre. The six-word novel. Publishers could cut their production costs to the bone. We writers would have more leisure time. Then there’s all those people who bought a book and never finished it. Well, they’ll have to come up with a pretty good excuses not to finish THIS one. And I bet none of those readers came from Scotland. The Scottish are renowned for their parsimony. If a Scot had to buy a phone directory you could be dammed sure he’d read every name in it just to get his/her money’s worth. The books could also be aimed at those with attention span deficit, unless they were also slow readers. Finally, there are some authors who should have been restricted to just six words. Jeffery Archer springs to mind, although in his case I would have reduced it to two.

i have enjoyed participating in your six word story several times.
I would like to introduce you to my novel 'A Chosen Journey,'
which is about a young woman that was abused by her husband and had a paranormal experience. She became stronger and left her husband and her poor abused dog Sam' regretfully behind. She finds herself working in the Hospital with young adults that are addicted to drugs and alcohol. I am asking you to please review my novel and Vote on it if you find it deserving. It was written to help the many young people in the world free themselves of addictions and become happy and content with their lives once again. Sincerely, Tamara0449
