The Un-journaling journal project

A writer pal asked a group of us to write journals -- but in an unconventional way. Each month, she posts 30 prompts that she calls un-journaling. The prompts consist of questions, situations and the like. Each participant picks any 10 of the listed topics for that month and writes about those 10 topics.

I joined the effort as a way to make sure I write posts for this From the Heart blog! So, I'll aim to post them as I go, putting up one or two each week. We'll see how long I can keep it up!

The 30 topics for April are listed below. I thought you'd like to see the options that were available to us. I give you a little hint of what's to come right now: I started with #3 and my answer is something you'll probably not expect! Look for that post later today!

Here's the list of prompts:
