Writing Challenges

This seemed like a good year to do another writing challenge. For this challenge you will need:

- paper in some form. Blank book, journal, diary, composition book, notebook, loose paper, journaling cards.

- something to write with. Your favorite pen or pencil is good, or you can type them in some form.

Some months I plan to include a free journaling card for you to download. You will need some skill at downloading and printing and a way to print it in a small format suitable for your journal.

There will be one challenge for each month (Lord willing), and the subjects will be appropriate to put in a journal or to simply write for you own purposes. If you prefer to make a digital record or a blog or web page based on the prompt, that's fine.

One of the important things about this type of writing is to leave a record that can help those who come after us or to encourage someone now. Think about how you can share these prompts with others. Perhaps you could do it with a loved one and make it a joint project. Or maybe you can create a lovely journal (whatever type you like) to pass on to your family or friends at some point in time.
