What an amazing River we had. I am still hearing about people writing and talking about small stones, that I didn't know about. Each one of them giving their attention to one thing each day during January and writing it down.What now? In due course we'll be creating another book, and we'll open submissions at some point for that. We're also working on getting Fiona's fourth novel The Most Beautiful Thing into the world. I'm finishing writing a brand new e-course for March, and of course we'll be blogging here about mindful writing as usual.
As part of the River of Stones this year Amy from Half Assed Mamma created a blog roll of small stoneblogs for us. It was on the sidebar of this site all through January and I loved clicking and seeing what each of you was writing.
Now that January is over I've taken that blogroll down, but I'm preserving it at the bottom of the post here for posterity, (click read more to see the whole thing) and so you can bookmark your favorite small stone blogs.
I know there were people writing in January who weren't on this list, either writing in their journals, or quietly posting on a blog somewhere. We also had people posting small stones on twitter and facebook.
Thank you to everyone who wrote, and paid attention. Although the January challenge is over - keep writing!

So glad this is still here. I'd bookmarked several, but missed quite a few.
WOW! that is an amazing list. And yes many of us continue to write small stones and write about writing small stones-

Thanks for keeping this blog roll. I used it most days to visit other writers.
To all "Stoners"
Last night, at its darkest, I really got "stoned" - and it's you that's to blame!
On a sleepless walkabout, I encountered an old sculpture of mine made out of whitened bones.
And I asked it, casually ," Who were you, really, and why is your backbone bent?"
Surprised at the question, (which had never occurred to me before), I moved out into the night, and was stopped dead at the sight of a magical mist-covered moon. And a terrible thought arose up "What if we had to live our whole lives without a moon?"
I knew than that something was different, - a new kind of me that could seek out these questions. And I knew that I liked it, and will continue devotedly with this daily writing delight (whoever/if ever the audience!)
But especially I knew whom I had to thank, and to whom I will always be grateful - your great team of leaders, for your inspired and inspiring inspiration!
..with deepest thanks and appreciation.
