@JournalChat Yes! exactly that kind of pic is personal. Luv it. #journalchat

@StephenVanVugt I also find that taking pics will put me in a writing mood, esp if it sparks an insight#journalchat

I recently took a photo of two butterflies on a dandelion sucking nectar; that might make a good prompt. I love butterflies. #JournalChat

@StephenVanVugt There are SO many great pics on Flickr Creative Commons. I fave the ones I like best and then write from them #journalchat

@StephenVanVugt That's perfect, Stephen, since you won't take a photo unless it means something to you, right? #JournalChat

@StephenVanVugt rumi's poem. i have it here on my blog... adelarubio.com/?p=7741 One of my faves.#journalchat

#JournalChat I find I need to use my own pics, to know the subject matter to get anything substantial from writing from them.

@JournalChat It certainly shifted my energy! That's what I luv best about journaling... witness the little i, invite the big I. #journalchat

I love Adela's idea of taking a thoughtful piece of writing from a book; if you take notes when you read, a-la prompt! #JournalChat

@JournalChat BE with what shows up and then be willing to let it go and let it flow. Like Rumi's Guest House... Welcome! #journalchat

RT @JournalChat: @StephenVanVugt I think it may be the only way we become most aware is by detailing what makes us happy. -Yes! #JournalChat
adelarubio3:28pm via TweetChat
@StephenVanVugt I just did a rant journal entry this morning and wrapped it up with a gratitude list.#journalchat

Too often journals can be a place to vent, be full of negativity. It's important to infuse them with the good too! #JournalChat

I found a neat WordPress sidebar plugin for quotes and will often that to prompt my blog post writing.#journalchat

I learned a trick about writing about pictures - not the main subject, but rather looking for things to notice in backgrounds #JournalChat
madeline403:21pm via Echofon
@JournalChat @StephenVanVugt I love quotes. I post them regularly on my FB author page#journalchat

@madeline40 I loved how your poetry really creates a creative cohesion, Madeline. #JournalChat

@SuzieCheel yay! Love the cross pollination of ideas. :) #journalchat

Popcorning lists, as Adela is explaining, has no censoring; sounds like a wonderfully intuitive exercise for the muse. #JournalChat

I also enjoy prompts. As I try to finish my book before year end, quotes really help get me writing, thinking, exploring. #JournalChat

Lists can help us organize, feel centered, even. Our Journal is a great place to explore with them.#Journaling #JournalChat

Writing prompts (from a quote) will often elicit poetry. It's like the poetry is the answer. #journalchat
StephenVanVugt3:16pm via TweetChat
This time of year especially is useful for lists. Lists of the year's accomplishments, people I met, how they affected me #JournalChat
JournalChat3:16pm via HootSuite
@StephenVanVugt It's amazing how different genres can influence and benefit others. Very cool.#JournalChat
JournalChat3:16pm via HootSuite
@adelarubio That almost sounds like poetry in the making, Adela. Unexplored territory; no boring issue here! #JournalChat
madeline403:15pm via Echofon
@JournalChat @StephenVanVugt I like lists in most of the things I do #journalchat

I use my journal to remind myself of things and write a separate action list @hdbbstephen writes about.#JournalChat #Journaling

Writing Personal Poetry, I believe. Other GREAT exercises, while aimed at creating poetry I find wonderful for writing. #JournalChat
adelarubio3:13pm via TweetChat
U can popcorn a list and order them into a sentence/phrase. Often takes me into an unexplored direction with my writing. #journalchat
JournalChat3:13pm via HootSuite
@StephenVanVugt I think so too, Stephen. When we list words or phrases, we often get associations with them. #JournalChat
JournalChat3:12pm via HootSuite
@adelarubio That's a great way to put it, Adela. Creating a clearing; making space for positive energy. :) #JournalChat
StephenVanVugt3:12pm via TweetChat
I learned to use lists from a poetry book by Sheila Bender several years ago. #JournalChat
JournalChat3:11pm via HootSuite
@madeline40 Oh, indeed, Madeline. There is so much we can gain from just writing one journal entry; it's amazing! #JournalChat
StephenVanVugt3:11pm via TweetChat
I find the method of using lists very helpful! It's a wonderful way to come up with further things to write about #JournalChat
