Writing Small Isn't Playing Safe

​I’ve been talking in my blog this week about the lack of writing, the quiet times, the thinking. It’s made me think of those pieces we produce that come in shyly and silently, and that don’t look as though they took much from you at all, but we know they did. There is a power in those moments, those fragments and brief scenes you put down. They often arrive quickly and are snapshots of where you mind was for a brief fraction of time.

My favourite place to submit these snapshots to is Paragraph Planet, who publish a 75-word story every single day. Over the years, whenever I find myself in a slump, or need some instant gratification, I spill my thoughts into a quick 75 words and send it there, and they have published a few of them. I encourage you try it. It is a real boost to your writing thought process.

I am interested in what the smallest piece of writing you have done is. If you like, post it in the comment, or just let me know about it.
