Question

What journals/diaries, either fictional or nonfictional, are your favorites to read?

I discovered this absolute treasure while working at Chapters long ago. It's a fictional story around the discovery of a real life journal over 100 years old. The book includes the journal entries and illustrations of the original one, resulting in a amazing bond between reality and imagination. It's called The Impact of a Single Event by R.L. Prendergast.

Prompt

Number 3 of 7
Read your previous two entries. How does the tone of the prose at the end of the second list differ from the first? Did what you write about affect your mood and perception of life? Freewrite for ten minutes about your observations.

Question

If you were a colour/color, which one would you be?

For myself I'd say chartreuse because it's lively and hopeful. I associate it with spring and new growth, and continuing to grow as a person is one of my life goals.

How many of you carry your journal around with you?

If not, why? Do you worry about theft, loss or something else?

Hey friends,

Well it has been an emotional day so far but I am greatly anticipating the release of an expansion for my favorite game The Binding of Isaac. We'll all make it through the week I'm sure!

Question
What do you look for when picking out a new journal?

I like to feel the paper. It has to be thick enough so support the pens I use and smooth to write on.
Also it is a plus when it can lay flat.

Hey friends, I hope you are all enjoying this weekend!

Question for Discussion

What are your hobbies?
I collect natural items such as seashells, nests, preserved insects, and rocks and minerals. Aside from that I enjoy working out( is that really a hobby?), playing Binding of Isaac, reading library books, and book binding. So far book binding is an interest that I hope to start officially this summer when I order from a supplier near my fiance's city.

Prompt

What is something that still bothers you, because you think you should have been able to do it better than you did?

-from Lost My Groove by Ten Thousand Questions

Question

Do you keep multiple journals, for example ones devoted to dreams, gratitude, or fitness?
Aside from my regular journal, I keep a book journal and a yearly one for lists about what my favorite movies were, where I traveled to, etc. Mostly I write everything important in my main journal but for some things, like reading, I want to keep separate in order to be more organized.

Enjoy your weekend!

Good morning friends!

Prompt

Has a piece of music been affecting you recently? Are there a certain set of lyrics or a specific sentence that seems to repeat itself to you through the day? Write them down at either the beginning of your journal and start free writing, or put them in the middle of a page and branch off connecting them to other words that come to mind. Is there a particular mood or feeling that is being presented in your writing?

Question

When did you last see beauty in an unusual or unexpected place?
I am not a dancer but every year I watch So You Think You Can Dance. Every year I expect to moved by contemporary or ballet pieces but I was blind sided yesterday during auditions when a young man named Hampton Williams performed. His dance style is often not presented as being soft, emotional, or haunting and when he did what he did, I was incredibly moved.
If you have anything to post here like a picture, text, or movie, please share! I'd love to see it.

Prompt

Do you have anything you would like to confess (even if it’s just to the pages of your journal)?

Nobody knows that I . . .
Dear ____, it weighs on me that I never told you . . .
The biggest lie I’ve ever told is . . .
Is there anything you feel guilty about? Is there anything you need to be forgiven for?
What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?
What’s your secret desire?
What’s the most outrageous thing you’ve ever done?

from Confessions by Daring to Live Fully

Question
I saw an online article about how keeping a secret can have both mental and physical effects on our bodies. I wanted to ask, how do you handle a secret big or small? Does your journal play a part in helping you keep a secret?
I've noticed lately that I've been starting to keep a lot to myself and that it has been adding to my stress level. For me it really helps to write these secrets in my journal. It can be scary sometimes to do so because, for a couple of us, there is the risk of someone reading it. I still do it because the feeling of liberation I get when I jot something down is greater than feeling afraid.

Hey friends,
when I check my friends page on good ol' Livejournal, I am always hoping to see a new post on Embodiment. We have our good months like January but, like a lot of my favorite communities, we are often inactive. I thought I'd try, like others have in the past, to do a daily prompt and question post to liven our dear community up. I'm not a great writer or consider myself to be inspiring, but I'll try with the help of some of my favorite journaling websites and books to perhaps provide motivation/inspiration. I'll do my best, cross my heart.

"Who is your biggest problem-maker? Who, more than anyone else, shows up in your life with problems for you to handle?

And who do you turn to when you have problems of your own? Who sees you primarily as a source of problems?"
-from When People Are Problems by Ten Thousand Questions

Where do you like to journal?
Generally I write in bed. This had led to some awful ink stains on my comforter and sheets though since I sometimes fall asleep in mid sentence. Oops. I think being wrapped up, all cozy like at the end of the day puts me at ease and helps me start jotting down my thoughts. I like having a standard writing place but there are times when I need to shake things up and try out a new space, just so I don't get too comfy.
