Description
Is a simple way to engage and inspire anyone and everyone to get to the essence of who they are and what matters most. It’s a story told in only six words. This activity requires writers to boil a story down to its core, then summarize it in half a dozen words.
Procedure on how to put in practice
Free writing isn’t a good strategy when brevity is the name of the game. An entire story in six words? It can feel impossible. Every word carries weight. What’s left unsaid is just as important as what’s written. You must find a way to imply the action of the story, which is easier said than done. The key is to get creative and to use descriptive words.
