#journalprompt — Public Fediverse posts

My inspiration: Horizons from PBS News: The alarming decline of bird populations and why humans should care (use this language to find online)

Today's #journalprompt is to connect with media that talks about an issue that you care deeply about. Then, think or write about it. For me, it's birds and native plant gardening, which improves the ecosystem for animals.

This week, investigate an issue that you want to be part of improving! #nativeplants #birdwatching #conservation

This week's #journalprompt is an easy one: watch your favorite fictional character in a movie, or read about that character's adventures. Have some popcorn while you're at it.
Ask yourself: why is this character appealing? Figure out what you like about him or her. Relax and enjoy the memories of how that story impacted your life, both when you first ran across it, and in the times since when you've revisited it.
My favorite ever? Bridget Jones.

This week's #journalprompt is about making observations. I took my camera around in Florida and took nature pictures. It's hard to capture a moment of an animal in motion but it's also a fun way to collect moments of what's happening around you.
This can be used in writing to set up the setting of a scene. If the mood is heavy, for example, dark clouds or thunder set the scene. For a lighter mood, sunshine and butterflies might be mentioned.
Enjoy these photos and have a good week #writing

This week I've revisited old versions of myself through the mechanism known as the shuffle button.
This can be a #journalprompt on several levels. It can be personal, pertaining to your own experience, or it can reflect a mood in a fiction story you're working on.
This week, put your music on shuffle and write about what thoughts come up as you move through your music catalog and the places you were, and the person you were, when you heard those songs for the first time.

Today's #journalprompt is to cook something or to describe some food that appears in whatever you're writing... and because the topic of "getting more turmeric in your diet because your joints hurt" came up at a book event today, I'm sharing this recipe.
It'll be cold tonight for much of North America, it's time to cook and eat something that'll keep you warm!
Buon appetito!

Today's post is something I've had people ask me about: why do we have to pay subscriptions to occasionally use a spreadsheet or word processing program? And the thing is, we don't. Check out open source software for a solution. It's literally free!
The option to go to libreoffice.org and download free software you can use anytime is hard to resist.
For today's #journalprompt think or write about a budget-friendly solution for something that you use.

Today I got buzzed by a Monarch butterfly. It got me thinking about gardens past and present, and what I'd like to plant in the future, to attract butterflies and other animals.

A garden is never done. It changes all the time, but that's part of its magic.

This week, think or write about what in nature inspires you, and how it makes you feel to interact with nature.
