A River of Stones

I haven't written on this blog for a long time, but when I read about the NaSmaStoMo I decided it was the perfect place for the challenge and the perfect time to get back to it and practice some consistency.


This is what it's all about;

In an attempt to pay more attention, I will be noticing one thing properly every day (a bird eating berries, a child playing in the street) and writing it down. People from across the world will be joining me and we’ll be creating a ‘river’ of these short pieces of writing.



You can write them down in a notebook or on a blog – and it doesn’t matter if you’ve done any writing before or not. The purpose of the project is to help us to pay attention, and to start the year as we mean to go on.


If you’d like to join us find out more at http://ariverofstones.blogspot.com/ or email fiona@fionarobyn.com for more information.


It’d also be lovely if you could forward this to five friends you think might be interested.

... it's funny that it was for the purpose of noticing, making a record and for me practising consistency, that I started A Trace of Time in the first place. I'm hoping this challenge will be just the shove I need to get me started again.

Sun spilt afternoon embroidered with sunshine laughter.

Cornish clotted cream clouds.

Clouds of effervescing sunshine billowing on the breeze.

The rich scent of freshly furrowed soil, and freshly spent rain clouds.

Newborn buds reaching skyward, suckling on the sunshine.

The wind is blowing, whipping up a gale outside, pushing through the cracks,
permeating the very bones of our little house.
