With this post I will begin to merge my other blog, Just To Write, with The Writer Today. I have been debating whether I should do this or not and decided that it would be easier for me to manage just one blog. My Just To Write blog is about writing prompts of everyday and not so everyday things. I have a list of writing prompt websites that I will add to my sidebar, as well as writing prompt blogs that will go on my blogroll. Once a week I will post a writing prompt.
A writing prompt helps with writer's block, it awakens your creativity and loosens your writing. Simon T. Bailey is a motivational speaker who has an e-newsletter called Brilliant Carats. His Brilliant Carat #89 had this interesting writing prompt idea that I liked and want you to try:
"Write a letter to yourself dated one year from today and describe where you intend to be. Write it in past tense as if it is already done".

Dear Self,
You should be proud that you finally organized your scattered poems into a cohesive collection. It took time, but hopefully someday you'll see those poems in print.
I'm also happy to see that you have FINALLY got into a regular exercise routine. Don't you feel healthier and happier now?
Love,
Your Future happier (fingers crossed) and healthier Self

Nicely done, thank you. I know you will make the collection of your poems into a published book. I will definitely buy a copy, so let me know when this happens.

Dear Me,
I am very proud of myself for being a winner in NaNoWriMo. That was quite an accomplishment. My dream of writing a romantic suspense novel is well on its way to becoming a reality.
I have learned to play the keyboard and sign language. I have become more active with my church and enjoy helping others through volunteer work. I have also studied to be a photographer and do photography work on the side.
I am excited about my life and feel very motivated and inspired. God has been very good to me and I have thanked him for all I have.
With love to myself
Ana
