For the month of October, I am going to participate in writing on a single topic for 31 days. The idea came from The Nester. I had a really hard time coming up with a topic that I felt like I knew well enough to write about for 31 days. I looked through last year’s participants for ideas, and then I looked through them again before I really decided what I wanted to do.

Since I like Five Minute Friday and almost always participate in those, I am going to go with that style and theme. I have written a list of 31 one-word journaling prompts that I am going to write about this month, one day at a time. Since my writing has been rather sporadic lately, and I seem to start posts and never finish them, I’m hoping that this will keep me inspired to write daily.

Would you like to pick a topic and join in? Pick a topic that you feel comfortable writing about for 31 days. The Nester suggests picking a topic that is broad enough that you can write 31 posts about it without getting sick of it, but specific enough that it feels like a series. Consider having a really specific title. There are no rules! YAY! She also has some buttons that you can snag to edit with your title. There are hundreds of people participating in the 31 Day Challenge, so we’re in good company!

Would you like to participate in 31 Days of Journaling Prompts? I have listed all of the month’s prompts below for you to plan out in advance, or if you want to be spontaneous I’ll post the day’s entry everyday at 12:01 am, so you will know in plenty of time what the day’s topic is. I have a button below that you can snag and upload it for your own use.
