Remember listening to someone tell a story for 10 minutes or read a book that could have been summed up in one page? Sometimes I do (depends on the person and the topic of the story, of course). GET TO THE POINT! Well, this is the site you should direct those people to. It’s called OneSentence.org. This is a blurb from their About page:
One Sentence is an experiment in brevity. Most of the best stories that we tell from our lives have one really, really good part that make the rest of the boring story worth it.
This is about that one line.
This is about telling the most interesting or poignant story possible in the least amount of words.
This is about small bite-sized pieces of extraordinary lives and ordinary lives alike… the happy, the sad, the funny, the depressing.
Here are some of mine from the recent past:
- Six-year-old Gabe ran over his friend Annabelle with his Big Wheels and made her cry.
- You’re the one who got me caught up in that crap in the first place and now you’re abandoning me to the hands of online junkies.
- Everything in Knowledge of the Holy is underline-worthy.
- MB blushed and embarrassed herself by talking with this guy she thought she knew.
- Even Lance has a man-crush on him.
What are some of your quick points?
