2. I am having a lot of fun putting together my 19th-century British poetry and prose class. I think it's going to work really well. We're going to read North and South (Gaskell), Syrlin (Ouida), Man and Wife (Collins), A Christmas Carol (Dickens), lots of non-fiction prose essays (Arnold, Carlyle, Ruskin, Ouida again, etc.), and much less poetry, but *shrugs*.
3. I am also enjoying using up old, almost-done notebooks and pens and tossing their carcasses. So satisfying. I think I used up three or four pens in this last week. Glorious!
4. I am trying to do daily journalling that is different from my regular journalling. Usually I write in my private diary to vent or process emotions. So it's very therapeutic but not all that great reading. I want to start keeping a different kind of journal that is not about whining about my life LOL, but I'm having trouble finding good prompts. So many of the prompt lists I see seem geared toward the kind of introspection I'm trying to avoid (questions like "What's holding you back from following your dreams?" or "What three things would you like to change about yourself?").
Anybody have recs for interesting journal prompts? I don't mind if they're introspective; I just don't want the kind that seem to be focused on working through emotions or processing things you don't like about yourself. I'm not really wanting to use this journal to write poetry or fiction, but prompts that are geared toward memoir or creative non-fiction would probably work, too.
