A writing challenge for the New Year

I joined in with the river of stones last New Year and it was a wonderful experience. It helped me to pause and focus on things I would normally ignore. It prompted me to turn some of my small stones into longer poems and short stories. It helped to get my writing flowing and introduced me to many other talented writers. Join in, you won't regret it!

Small stones














What is a small stone?
A small stone is a very short piece of writing that precisely captures a fully-engaged moment.
There are no strict rules for what makes a piece of writing a small stone, as there are for forms such as haiku. The process of finding small stones is as important as the finished product – searching for them will encourage you to keep your eyes (and ears, nose, mouth, fingers, feelings and mind) open.
