The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

]]> The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

Have you ever had one of those days where it seems just about everything is bad? You feel bad about yourself or your skills, or lack of, or just feel bad, as in against everything. Get out your journal and write down everything you’re bad at. Be real, but rant away if that’s how you’re feeling at this moment. Go for ugly while you’re there. What is it about you that is ugly? I don’t just mean the way you look. List all your ugly character traits while you’re at it. Get it all down on paper.

To balance things out make sure you spend just as much time or more on writing what you are good at. Write as if you were defending yourself. Remember you just beat yourself up in the bad & ugly entries, so be extra nice to yourself with the good entry. It might be worth creating a visual page for each of these as well or instead.

I hope you enjoy this journal writing prompt. Please leave any comments in the section below.

Finding Good Photo Prompts

]]> I receive all kinds of email newsletters, as I’m sure you do. Some I give a quick glance over and others I almost ignore. Yesterday I discovered a website I have been ignoring. For some reason the description of their photo challenge theme for January caught my eye. The Photographer’s Life is about selling an online course, but there’s a lot there for anyone who wants to spend time looking. Loads of tips on how to take better photos, if you’re interested, but I was particularly inspired by the photos I viewed from the hall of fame.

Find info on the photo contest to learn more and check out this month’s challenge to see photos as they’re submitted. I think these are an excellent visual tool for journal writing prompts. If you’d like more photos and images have a look at Digital Photography School, too, especially the weekly assignments submitted by forum members. There are some gorgeous purple ones there right now.

Searching google for photography tips is another way to find great photos for journal writing prompts. Please keep in mind copyright restrictions if you want to use any of these photos on your blogs, though.
