While doing Candy Star's Theme a day journals, I thought of this twist to journaling: Streaming thoughts.

You remember the psychology method where someone would say a word and you say the first word that you think of... It's kinda like that but more...

When I got stuck on a theme I would do a Stream of thoughts and use that as my entry. For example:

  • Love...
  • Hearts and flowers...
  • Stupid...
  • In love...
  • How to know...
  • Never been...
  • Love...
  • Family and cats...
  • Many forms...
  • Too many...
  • Too hard...
  • Too different...
  • Never the same...

The important thing to remember is to be honest and write down everything you think; until you reach a conclusion you're happy with.

If you notice I got stuck twice and re-concentrated on the word again.

So here's what I propose:

  • 30 days of streaming your thoughts
  • You can decorate if you wish
  • You can summarize or explain your steam if you wish (my summary for the above was: "You can never love two people/things the same way. It's always different.")
  • You can either use the list provided or do a random dictionary word (with your eyes closed, open the dictionary and point. Use that word as your beginning; don't change it if you don't like it).
  • When your done send your journal to one partner.

Since I'm doing the 2nd theme journal I'm not going to start this till Sept. Newbies welcome. This will be international
