Letter to Self

 July 22nd
...See more Hello! (I'm Violet) TCR can have some silly conversations… and as we were discussing whether or not love letters are still “a thing,” @CommunityModAnne told us that we should all write a letter to ourselves! I think that can be a great way to slow down and get out whatever feelings you have towards yourself.  Here are some things you could maybe write about: * What can I forgive myself for? * What do I like about myself? * What encouragement can I offer myself? What do I need to keep working on? * Where do I see myself in 5, 10, 20 years? And how can I get there? * Whatever else you can think of! Feel free to keep your letter private, save it for your future self to read, or share it here! I’ll share mine soon to get the thread going. Update me on your progress! What are you writing about, if you don’t want to share the entire letter? How did it feel to write it all out? ------------------------- And so, in honor of Anne, you could start it like she suggested!  “Dear Self, Mod Anne the tea cup on 7 cups told me to write to you…” Tagging people in the room for the discussion: @reliablebunny23 @versatileWhisper1571 @KiminoSuizouwoTabetai @Anycat123 @dinosaurBlitz @CommunityModAnne @Apeatrice @Heartsandrosesandpaws And some other people too: @DingoOliver @PastaIsVeryUnderrated @MickMoss @Noor511 @DarkerPlaces @theboymoana

...See more Hi everyone :) As a writer, I would like to know : what are the elements / storylines you guys think should be incorporated more in stories ? What clichés should be watered down and what makes a good plot / an interesting character according to you guys ? I mostly write love stories in the YA/New Adult genre, so I was hoping you could help me improve myself : ) Thank you.

...See more Do you every feel stuck in the morning or evening when you would like to journal?  Have tried a writing  prompt? Here is a writing prompt for your journal.  (GIFT) G Gratitude (list three to five things you are grateful for) I Intention (what is your intention for today) F feelings (what emotions are you feeling now or big ones you've experienced today) T Thoughts (write out anything that you want, perhaps proud moments or tasks you accomplished or simple plans for the next day) Please note: Journaling is your way of expressing your thoughts and feelings. This prompt is not for everyone and just a suggestion. So I would like only Positive experiences or journal suggestions that would help others in the comments. Be Well.
