Every week on Llama Tuesday I write a blog post and share it on the Two Writing Teachers blog. Then I comment on at least 3 other posts.
Here are the rules:
WRITE a slice of life story on your own blog.
SHARE a link to your post in the comments section.
GIVE comments to at least three other SOLSC bloggers.
There are 38 days left in 2020 which means I have 38 more writing prompts to publish. Do you have plans for the last 38 days?
One of my obsessions lately has been journaling prompts. I even found a couple of podcasts dedicated to journaling. On an episode of Writing Your Best Self I heard a writer talk about logging the high of the day, the low and what you have learned.
I follow this method similarly with my energy challenge that comes from the author of The Third Door. I log what fueled my energy, what drained it and what I learned from those observations.
I was reminded of a protocol I learned at the EL Education conference last year in October called HIGH/LOW/BUFFALO. In this version, you share a high and a low and something completely out of left field! Some people need some prodding in order to be silly sometimes. It helps to get to know people in a hurry.
My day of working from home has just started but here is mine so far (Subject to change by the evening)
High: Wellness of my family and it snowed!
Low: I was woken up early by loud vehicles driving by
Buffalo: I learned today that pickled carrots are a thing and I am writing about them!
What are yours?
I would love to hear in the comments!
High- Women’s Ministry from my church delivered a gift bag of little treats
Low- cold damp air is making my house feel very chilly today
