January has been a pretty swell year so far. I've decided that every Monday, or so, I'll post something of a writing prompt. For even if you don't consider yourself a "writer", just writing a few thoughts down could be useful. A way to synthesize all those conflicting, powerful thoughts that occur.
Some of this is based off a book I was presented by my roommate Justin. It is part journal, part therapist in a way. The premise is you are asked a question, every day of the year, and you're supposed to respond. And then 2013 rolls around and you answer again. And again for five years. So you see how your ideas change (or not). Questions as diverse as "Are you a leader or a follower?" or "What's your favorite accessory?" And the beginning of the year starts with a rather amorphous question. And that is "What is your mission?"
I thought about that one for a while. Perhaps the best part is that you only really (if you write in the book) have about three lines to answer.
So perhaps that is your first writing prompt:
What is your mission?
I hope this Monday is finding you well. And I hope that you take a moment or two to reflect in honor of MLK JR.
Take care, y'all.
