Six-word stories: Tell IJ your short tale of your new beginning

We’re about to start a new year, a new decade. For many, that means it’s time for a new beginning.

What would that look like for you?

For January, please share with the IJ a six-word story — just one — about your new beginning. Please make it a story with a beginning, middle and end, and not just six adjectives — make us laugh or cry or feel something. And please, we’ll be extremely grateful if you include your full name and your Marin hometown, write your short story in the body of the email (not in the subject line or in an attachment), and use proper punctuation and check spelling.

Send your six-word story to lifestyles@marinij.com by Jan. 17 with “Six-Word Story” (yes, this matters) in the subject line. Then look for the stories in the Jan. 28 lifestyles section and online.
