Cool news -- Six word stories

Submitted by ggevalt on April 16, 2008 - 17:30.

Publishing your six-word stories, PART 1
OK, so we've been busy plotting how and when we are going to publish the best of your Six-word Stories (which are still coming in.) Our first project is very cool: Six stories, in six words, presented in six minutes by the Vermont Symphony Orchestra and the six young writers....

The following six-word stories were selected by the VSO and have been passed along to a young composer who will create one-minute musical interpretations of each. The plan is to have each of the writers get up on stage, read the words and then have the VSO follow by playing the musical interpretation of the story... Then the next author will read, and so on. Concert will be in early December.

Here are the selections. If each of those named would please give me a call (860-0570) so I can explain further....

We are pursuing other ways to publish the best of the other entries. We have so many great entries to choose from!... stay tuned.

I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.
