Rules Do not worry about your spelling, grammar, or punctuation being perfect. Your journal writing is not going to be assessed - you can simply use the spoiler tag to hide it from yourself and others. Just let loose and let the words run free without the fear of the grammar police pulling you over and ruining your flow. Some of the entries may be really personal - I still encourage you to write them. You don't have to share them with us, you don't even have to hide them with a spoiler tag if it's that personal. Simply write the prompt as you normally would, take note of the word count, then delete it all and leave us a note that says something like: (INSERT 572 WORDS HERE) That way you still get credit for the journal write and keep your private stuff private. Deal?  Another option, if you can't bring yourself to delete it, is to write it justlikethiswithoutspacessothatnoonewouldbothertoreadit. That works too. Use your journal post to get creative, messy, and experimental. You're allowed to include pictures and gifs, links and videos - whatever you want. If the prompt posted doesn't appeal or apply to you, you're allowed to pick one of these basic prompts to substitute, or simply mental vomit/rant. - How are you feeling?
- What do you need to do?
- What is not sitting well with you?
- If only...
- I am loving...
- Tell me about a few things that happened today/yesterday.
- What did you do?
- What went well this week?
- What did you learn?
- What are your goals and intentions for next week?

Hello There Blank Page
Our first entry is simply to break the ice. Go find an inspiring image - something that calls out to the writer in you - and insert it at the top of your post. Type the words below into your post, arrange them as you see fit, dress them up and make them pretty - whatever you want. A done something is better than a perfect nothing.
Over the next 365 days, I give myself permission to...
play
rest
love
vent
grow
shine
learn
explore
simplify
color outside of the lines
be loved
be strong
be daring
dream big
be grateful
help others
be creative
laugh more
ask for help
be successful
accept myself
try new things
be determined
create my own life
be kinder to myself

Prompt #1
What does 'happiness' mean to you? Would you describe yourself as a naturally happy or an unhappy and worried person? Tell me about a time when you felt really happy and about a time when you made someone else feel happy.

To me, happiness is being satisfied and content with myself and my current place in life. My family is healthy and safe, I'm healthy and safe, and I'm able to write. I think I would be described as a naturally happy person - I make it a point to smile when I'm happy or at least content, and I try to share my positive feelings with others. I'm not constantly happy, but I do try to do whatever it takes to keep me as happy as possible. I guess you could say I'm most like Joy from Inside Out?  The last time I felt really happy was when I hit 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo. I've been really worried that I've lost my creative spark, that "it" factor that draws the line between writers and authors. I was seriously considering that I would quit trying to write. So honestly, NaNo was going to be my final try. And I did it! Not only did I reach 50K, but I did it with a week to spare! When I looked down and saw that my word count had hit 50K and had kept going, I lost my train of thought and flipped out. ^_________^ I may think this story is derailing and becoming a train wreck, but it's one that I can admit to, that I'll fix and put back on track in January. But I can write. I can keep chasing my dream. I will be published one day. The last time I made someone else happy was yesterday, while eating Thanksgiving dinner. My sister was sad that our little brother hadn't been able to make it home, despite having a shorter distance to travel than she did. (She's in D.C. and he's in Oklahoma.) She kept saying that it didn't feel the same without him there, and I agreed with her, telling her that he was my escape goat every year. She'd made my plate and overloaded it with food (anyone will tell you I don't eat a lot) and normally when he's there I'll give my food to him or he'll throw the food that I didn't eat away for me so I wouldn't feel guilty about not being able to finish. Without him, even my kids finished their plates and left the table, leaving me to sit there like a big kid refusing to finish. I kept shooting her dirty looks and realized that she was having the same trouble I was - she didn't want to finish her food either. We kept joking around and laughing, choking on our food. In the end, she managed to finish her tiny plate of food and I had to get permission from Angel to abandon the table. And I didn't get any pie.  |
