Storytelling in 6-words
June 11th, 2008 • Culture Briefings
Of late, I’ve been enamored with the concept of storytelling…..What follows is just a stream of consciouness that might not make much sense!
As a writer and a wordsmith …. I think words speak most powerfully to me. I think the best in words and I relay the best in words. Today I was surfing the net and remembered to check out my friend’s online magazine SMITH mag (which I check periodically) SMITH mag has taken the idea of 6-word memoirs to an entirely new level that is so heart-breaking and powerful to me.
See these 6-word stories yourself… made me think that a great story that can be told in 60,000 words can be told as effectively in 6. This is one of the most powerful new mediums I’ve encountered…. (ofcourse there is twittories – stories in 140 words…etc) But how awesome is this?

Wow, advertisers and copywriters need to participate in this project. Perhaps they will learn how to effectively condense the essence of brands into a concise, memorable, and powerful tag lines.
