Six Word Memoir

By Karin at 11:13 am on April 11, 2008

BrightStar tagged me with this meme several days ago, but then I got sick and life was put on hold. I am finally starting to feel better, so I’m doing it now!

Here are the instructions:

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.

Here is my memoir:

I’m a mom who writes songs.

I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to write, because six words is not a lot of space to get your point across, but being a mom and being a songwriter are the two things I’ve wanted to do most in my life, and it’s taken me a good chunk of my life to get to a place where I was able to do either one of them. I also think the order is important, because first and foremost in my life right now is motherhood. LG is always my number one priority because she needs me. But, the songwriting is something I’ve always wanted to do in my heart of hearts and it’s coming along. I think LG is a big part of my inspiration anyway. I often joke (or maybe it’s not a joke) that the mingling of Mike’s DNA with mine while I was pregnant was what gave me the ability to start writing songs. True or not, it’s kind of an interesting thought, isn’t it?

Anyway, there’s my memoir. I won’t tag, but I think Rochelle should definitely try it and anyone else who wants to give it a shot!
