Today is also Good Friday & a public holiday here in Australia. While reading the Easter story in my bible I came across this passage in Matthew 27:51-53 & couldn’t help wonder about these people who were raised from the dead right at that time. Please read the passage so you know what I mean.
For today’s journal writing challenge imagine you are one of these raised to life at that moment. How …read more

For the last few days I haven’t been able to access my blog due to outages in b5media, so that’s why I’ve been so quiet just lately. But it looks like things are back to normal; at least we’re all hoping so. Without having access I did think about what it might be like if suddenly there was no longer any internet. I got a few good journal entries out of that one and …read more

While researching online today I came across the Art in Every Day blog by Cheryl Finley. In Cheryl’s Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! entry there’s an inspiring declaration “I am the New Year.” For today’s Freaky Friday journal writing challenge write from this same perspective. You may want to write as the example, or anyway the prompt takes you. If you feel we’ve spent too much of the year already, one month down, then …read more

I’ve recently finished reading the excellent book Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. In the novel the main character relates the story of how he joined the circus from the perspective of his old age. This reminds me of Freaky Friday #64 where I encouraged you to write about running away to join the circus. This time write your journal entry from the same perspective; that of your old age. Look back over …read more

While out shopping today I saw two teenage girls snickering, giggling and pointing their fingers at someone. The first thing I thought of was the film Mean Girls starring Lindsay Lohan. I had my share of run-ins with mean girls myself as a teen. How about you?
Today spend some time writing about yourself from the perspective of a mean girl. Try to recall an incident from memory and write from the mean girl’s …read more

The other night I watched the film Children of Men, starring Clive Owen & Julianne Moore. Really, I am still processing the story, even though it was simple enough. But the idea of the entire human race being infertile for over 18 years is a frightening thought. That’s a long time. The film showed how this impacted the world of the future. The youngest people in the world are treated as celebrities and …read more

I’ve been thinking of the number of books & movies where the fish out of water theme is used. Stories with this premise often make the most of bringing out the truth of a character. The idea is simple enough. A character is somehow thrown out of his/her normal situation and must cope with this change. In the film series Back to the Future Marty, played by Michael J Fox, is the fish & …read more

My daughter passed along this story which appears online in many places. It took me just a little while to track down where it originated, but I’m giving Josh Harris full credit for The Room. The link is not to Josh’s site, but the first I found that gave his name as author.
The challenge today is to read through The Room. Imagine you stood in a similar room. What kinds of things were …read more
