The other day I sat down to write, and the blank page taunted me. My mind was as blank as my journal, and I closed my book without completing the 30 minutes of writing I planned that day. I usually don’t let writer’s block win, but this day, it certainly did. Recently, I’ve been trying to think of categories for my writing that are broad enough to allow flexibility, but narrow enough to give me some limitations. I collected these categories to use for the week ahead. This week’s? Well, my journal categories came from the old adage: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” While it’s normally attached to a wedding day, it works perfectly for writing. Here are some ideas for these.
Share with us what you decided to do with these prompts. Happy writing!
