The writing prompt doesn’t speak to me so can I skip it?
The writing prompt doesn’t have to speak to you. The idea is to work through the exercise offered up to you. You may be surprised what happens once you commit to the prompt writing process. You may start off in the direction with the prompt but once your creativity takes over it may lead you in another, something that might never have happened if you skipped the prompt all together. Besides it’s great practice for writing outside your personal comfort zone.
What type of journal should I keep?
You might want to have one journal that collects everything or you may want one for different aspects of your life: personal growth, spiritual, vacation, dream, work, ideas, fiction (the possibilities are almost endless). You could work on them collectively or focus on a particular one during specific times in your life. There is no hard and fast rule.
