For many in the blogosphere, November is NaBloPoMo — national blog posting month — where you challenge yourself to post every day for the entire month. What I think is even better is In the Violet Hour‘s inspiration to transform NaBloPoMo into the 30 Days of Truth. While I’m sure I won’t be posting every day, I’m definitely up for challenging myself a little more around here. And I’m listing the 30 prompts below so you can join in too…
Day 1 : Something you hate about yourself
Day 2 : Something you love about yourself
Day 3 : Something you have to forgive yourself for
Day 4 : Something you have to forgive someone for
Day 5 : Something you hope to do in your life
Day 6 : Something you hope you will never have to do
Day 7 : Someone who has made your life worth living for
Day 8 : Somone who made your life like hell, or treated you like shit
Day 9 : Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted
Day 10 : Someone you need to let go or wish you didn’t know
Day 11 : Something people seem to compliment you the most on
Day 12 : Something you never get compliments on
Day 13 : A band or artist that got you through some tough days (write a letter)
Day 14 : A hero that has let you down (write a letter)
Day 15 : Something or someone you can’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it
Day 16 : Someone or something you can definitely live without
Day 17 : A book you’ve read that changed your views on something
Day 18 : Your views on gay marriage
Day 19 : What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?
Day 20 : Your views on drugs and alcohol
Day 21 : (scenario) You’ve gotten into a fight with your best friend and an hour later, she’s in a car accident. What do you do?
Day 22 : Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life
Day 23 : Something you wish you had done in your life
Day 24 : Make a playlist to someone and explain why chose those songs. (Just post the titles, the artist and letter)
Day 25 : The reason you believe you’re still alive today
Day 26 : Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so, when and why?
Day 27 : What’s the best thing going for you right now?
Day 28 : What if you got pregnant, (or got someone pregnant), what would you do?
Day 29 : Something you hope to change about yourself and why.
Day 30 : A letter to yourself. Tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself.
This sounds really interesting. Not entirely sure I’m in the right head space to do this now, but I really love some of the prompts.
It does sound interesting and those are certainly some thought provoking prompts. I might try to join in on a few…
Some of those would just be too much information to just throw out there. Less can sometimes be more, I think.
I hope your knee isn’t giving you too much bother, and that the frost is late this year.
Riayn: Yeah, me neither — so I’m going to stick to the prompts that feel right.
Emily: Please do!
Ian: I totally agree. Some of the prompts I would never write about in a million years, so I’ll skip those ones and write on the ones that inspire me.
