Writer’s Digest Adds 6S to 101 Best!

A Thank You from Robert McEvily

As August comes to a close, and the third complete year of Six Sentences crosses the finish line, it’s time to take a collective bow. As some of you know, Writer’s Digest named 6S as one of the “101 Best Websites for Writers.” At the risk of sounding immodest, it’s pretty obvious why. For the past three years, we’ve amassed an amazing collection of pieces from an equally amazing group of writers – from literally all over the world. It’s my great privilege to edit the site, and my greater privilege to enjoy your words, your thoughts, and your kindness and support. Thank you ALL so very much!

Reality

by Lauren McBride

We used to laugh a lot when the children were little and did funny things, back when we were still young, and the world seemed vast and interesting. Gas was cheap. Your job was secure. And our future together was full of possibilities. Together we watched the news turn grim: 9/11, war, recession, unemployment. Now we worry a lot, and can only wonder what kind of a world will be waiting for our children when they leave home.
