Well it's Merry Christmas from the 8 lb. baby Jesus these days! This morning I grabbed my phone and was looking at my emails and I had one from the publishers of a new book called Not Quite What I was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure. Apparently I submitted a six-word memoir to SMITH magazine and now the whole concept has been picked up and is being turned into a book. My submission made the cut. I spent some time pondering whether I fall into the "famous" or "obscure" writer category but then I realized I have bigger things to worry about:

I vaguely recall submitting something but have no idea what six words I chose to summarize my life with.

So this could be thoroughly funny, or interesting, or awkward, depending on how it turns out.
