Journaling Suggestion #3: Describe Your Favorite Food

What is your favorite food? Think for a minute, and when you have an answer write a paragraph about it. You might say, “What could I possibly say about pizza” or whatever is your choice. However, you can if you try.

There is only one rule: You have to keep writing and not think very much about what you write when you do this. Let your fingers just flow. You can check spelling and grammar later. However, do not make many changes if you can at least spell and construct a sentence.

My Example

My favorite food is chocolate. You might argue that it's not really a food, but I bed to differ. The cocoa from chocolate has antioxidants in it that actually fight cancer.

Of course, when savoring every last creamy bit of milk chocolate I think, I should have gotten the dark chocolate. I have had delicous dark chocolate, though. I feel less like I ate too much and am going to pack on the pounds when I eat dark chocolate. Now, I just wish they sold dark chocolate with almonds more often.

Journal Free Writing Suggestion #2: What was your First Trip Like?

I love to tell tales about places I've been, and I like to write about them. I personally loved visiting and l living in New York back in 1994. However, that was not my first trip so I will use another idea.

Pick a place you have been, but keep in mind it doesn't even have to be long distance. If you really cannot remember where you went on your very first trip out of town, just write about the first trip and the first destination you remember.

My Example

I would say my first trip was actually to the hospital. However, I don't remember much about it. I only heard about it, so it doesn't count.

Therefore, I am just thinking back to my first trip out of Green Bay, Wisconsin. I am not sure where the first place was, but we did go up north quite a bit. My family and me used to rent a cabin in Suring, Wisconsin.

My dad once threw a shoe at me while we all laid on the bare, unfinished floor. The cabin was exactly that-four (or maybe five) walls and a roof. No plumbing or electricity, just a shell of a building. 

Journal Free Write Suggestion #1: Write about your First Kiss

You can take this exercise into any direction you want. For instance, you could talk about your first kiss as a child with your mom or dad kissing you on the cheek. Either that or you can talk about the first time you kissed someone you were in love with.

My Example

This may sound trite, but I have to say it. I consider it my first “real” kiss and I remember that first kiss like it was yesterday. Okay, actually I take that back. I do remember the kissing, and I do remember feeling the tingling down my spine and the rush of blood flowing through my body.

I remember more than just a first kiss. It was actually a series of first kisses with the same person I will never forget. It was so long ago so my memory just shows one-second slide shows of me sitting on your lap and you leaning towards me while holding me.

Then, I remember standing outside with him and me on my front porch. I wondered if my mom and dad were looking out the window at least on one occasion. However, we just kissed anyway.

Incidentially, there was a time later on when your kiss was after you smoked a cigarette. I just about gagged. However, I still remember the first time we kissed and your mouth was as sweet as strawberry jelly and as tasty as chocolate pie.
