ALESSANDRA RIZZOTTI (WRITING)

My six word stories (“coffee, my vice. so was he.” / “we bonded over our deviated septums.”/”24,900 Google hits to my name.”) have been published in three Harper Perennial books, “Six Word Memoirs on Love and Heartbreak”, “Six Word Memoirs On Jewish Life From Writers Famous and Obscure”, and ”It All Changed In An Instant: Six Word Memoirs From Writers Famous and Obscure.”

All stories below were featured on the front page.

Six Word Memoirs:

father travelled in a VW bus / hello. i’m awkward. what’s your name? / live in beverly hills. not rich / child model. got fat. what now? / lived with paramount chiefs in ghana / did gymnastics to gain mental flexibility / had conversations with god about bacon / fell off a cliff. now “famous”

i had three boyfriends in preschool / we work better as writing partners / i’m too smart to give in / want something more than video chat / miss the country more than him / we were football and band practice / wanting the unattainable should be easier / we made it in the photobooth / i met his family. bad decision / he kissed my neckbrace. in love / i liked art. he liked football / a hippyfest stole my lover away

Missed Connections Blog

In 2008, I fell off a cliff while hiking and while recovering, I was really bored so I responded to Missed Connections HERE.

Captchas Verified

You know those squiggly letters that pop up when you try to upload a picture on Facebook or message/stalk someone you don’t know on Tumblr? They are called CAPTCHAS and I try to interpret them because they drive me INSANE!

GoogleGoop

I Google images when researching at work. Oftentimes, the words I Google never match the images that pop up. In GOOGLEGOOP, I attempt to define words using the first three Google images that pop up when I search for them.

Standup

I started doing standup in a neckbrace after falling 60 feet off a cliff while hiking. This material is dirty, beware.
