Many of us think our lives follow a path, either fated, or one that comes from a route we engaged on and then strive to follow. But in fact so much of our existence -- where we find ourselves in life, love, work, home now, and where we might end up later -- results from a single moment or decision that was made on a whim, even randomly. From the creators of the New York Times bestselling Six-Word Memoirs franchise comes THE MOMENT, a collection of personal stories about how a moment in a person?s life -- a single decision, happenstance, accident, call, conversation, tweet, text, or email -- had a profound effect on him or her. The stories of these moments take all shapes and sizes in the book -- written narratives ranging from 6 to 1,000 words, photographs, comics, illustrations, handwritten letters, tweets, etc. -- and contributors will include writers both famous (Melissa Etheridge, Elizabeth Gilbert, Justin Halpern, Jennifer Egan, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey) and unknown.Many of us think our lives follow a path, either fated, or one that comes from a route we engaged on and then strive to follow.
