I don't know how I stumbled across this site - but it is a 'personal storytelling' site. No nothing to do with KM - just people telling short interesting personal stories. And each one uniquely and quite beautifully produced.
- Make it personal. (Use the word "I" or don't write at all.)
- Be honest. (Only true stories will be accepted.)
- Keep it under 1000 words. (Please!)
The best submissions balance two goals: personal storytelling and emotional reflection. Don't just tell us a story, tell us why it's important and how it affected you. Remember that your story will end with a question for others to answer, so make sure you answer it, too. Sometimes it helps to think of the question in advance and treat your story as an especially well-prepared answer.
Finally, remember that {fray} is about personal storytelling. That means you should take us back to a moment that mattered to you and tell us all about it, from beginning to end, as if we were going through it ourselves. Your job is to make a stranger feel what you felt.
I love it! But it gets better. In ending each story with a question - you get to answer that question. So having read the story - you can read a whole set of personal answers to the question by other readers. Many of the stories/questions/answers are very moving. I'm sitiing her with tears in my eyes!
