WHAT I'M READING WEDNESDAY : The Book of Alchemy by Suleika Jaouad

I am NOT a journaler, yet have tons of journals along my bookshelves, and a box of "Old Business Journals" in our storage room.

I have tried and failed many times to keep a daily journal.

Yet, I do love to write.

It's a contradiction. (I am a contradiction.)

Despite excelling in math and science in high school, I have always loved words and stories.

My first major in college was English.

YET.... after I got my first "C" on a writing assignment, I went to my dean and changed my major.

My self-worth at the time couldn't handle being "bad" at something.

Instead of writing about history, I decided to read about it, and become a history major.

As I listen to The Book of Alchemy my desire to write, and write more, seems to be coming to life.

Yet, despite the prompts contained within, I have yet to put pen to paper.

I am taking in the stories, reflecting on the prompts, but not writing to them.

I think I need a partner, or several partners.

Would any of you like to join me on a 100-day challenge to write to the prompts contained within The Book of Alchemy?

We can create a separate space to share our writing, or share our reflections on our writing, or a photo of our notebook and pen, with the words "complete."

Let me know if you're game!
