Journal Writing & Prompts

Recently I wrote two articles for Triond about journal writing. You'd be surprised at the number of different types of journals you can create.

The articles can be found here:

I think this would be a great idea for writing prompts for our group, but since I am not a leader I decided to post prompts here. I challenge you to come up with something under one of the following categories. You can write something serious or go crazy and write fiction. For example, if you are writing about a date to the movies you can go into some crazy details about the date itself as well as the movie. The movie itself can be made up. Here are some prompts:

Write about a book you've read. Who would you like to star in the movie?
Write about a movie and the events surrounding it. Would you like to be in the movie?
Write a diary entry.
Write about pregnancy or menopause. Have fun with it.
Write about your kids' antics.
Write about a television show.
Write a prayer.
Write about gratitude. What are you grateful for?
Write about your first job, real or fictional.
Write about someone's reaction to reading one of your journals.

Some great stories can be born here, perhaps a best seller. ;)
