Journal Prompts

This will be a page to compile questions that prompt self-exploration, or exercises from books for journaling.

http://www.plinky.com/ – a question a day to get you writing

- If you wrote a book that reflects your life what title would you give it? Is your heroine young & innocent? tentatively making her way through life? facing its dangers? Does your story revolve around a key relationship? Do you resonate with the story of a self-sufficient woman, wise in the ways of the world? (replace pronouns as needed)

So I want to do some writing. I thought I’d put all my prompts and what not on one page for now. Other resources include plinky.com and a book I have called Fruitflesh. More books may be listed.

I have decided to contribute to the Pagan Blog Project. A weekly post about anything pagan. Could be interesting!

Found this other weekly project for 2011 here:

holy – definition?

the grail – whom does it serve? the wasteland, the stuff from Jean Shiboda’s book, etc

sibyls, oracles, prophetesses, seers

cultural appropriation

Random browsing has revealed a spiritual definition meme that i could see myself writing about. Perhaps annually as a touch stone for change/statis.  I may or may not have updates to follow
