@Seral3: We did say that Hemingway was challenged to write a "story", but what we do at SMITH is about personal stories, so we adapted the idea to memoirs (and gave credit where it was due).
Sorry you're not into it.
I'm personally really proud of all the excellent contributions we got from people all over the world. It's been a really fun project to be a part of -- especially since everyone can be a part of it!

The song is Stretch by Pedalsped, a Bay Area band.

None of these are even remotely comparable to Hemingway's.

I love this concept:
Writing memoir leads to more stories.

We're doing a project in Language Arts class based upon your ideas. A very creative thought you had in creating this.
-Very Nice!
