Lists are a great way to get many ideas down in a short amount of time.
For the next fifteen minutes make a list of fifty things you would do with your time if money were not an option.
Tuck the list away in your journal to use it in the future to expand on an item when you are stuck for something to write.
Open up your journal and write at least one page about a lovely sunset you remember. Where was it? Was anyone with you? What made it so lovely?
For fifteen minutes journal about your view on gay/lesbian marriage. If you have more time explore your relationships with any gay/lesbian people you have known.
Journal about the ever increasing fascination scientists have with how the body works. Include three areas that you think that science has gone too far and three areas where science has not gone far enough.
Reflect on a destination, beyond a weekend getaway, that you would like to visit. What about the location attracts you to it and what kinds of things would you like to do there (include at least five)? Would you like to visit this place alone or with some one else.
Who are you? What are ten things that you think make up the essence of who you are.
Journal for fifteen minutes about three competitions that should not have been in the summer Olympics (and three that should have). OR if you watched the closing ceremonies journal about which bands should have been featured but were not and why you think they should have been featured. Who should not have performed?
