Today's prompt does not come from the jar, but from a quote I saw posted on Facebook from Game of Thrones. Take the quote and respond to it, what does it mean to you? Write a poem, a journal entry, or a story. Happy writing. :)

Journal Jar: Day Seventeen: Prompts Fifteen, Sixteen, and Seventeen
Here are the prompts:
Prompt 15: As passengers disembark from a transatlantic flight, they start to experience amnesia -- all of the passengers except one. The farther they go from the plane, the more severe their amnesia becomes. Will they risk forgetting everything?
Prompt 16: Outside the Window: What's the weather outside your window doing right now? If that's not inspiring, what's the weather like somewhere you wish you could be?
Prompt 17: The two moments I'll never forget in my life are...Describe them in great detail, and what makes them so unforgettable.

Happy writing!!!

Writing Zone
One thing that I find difficult at times is finding a writing zone that works for me. I have two children, one is four and the other is six months, and a significant other so it is difficult sometimes to find a moment to myself. I work every other week and then the weeks I do not work I am home with the children and trying to catch up on housework from the week before. So, how do I get in my writing zone? Well, generally I find that I fall asleep when the kids do at night so I do not get a lot of nighttime writing accomplished. What I generally do is get up and hour to two hours early every morning, go into my office (which is a walk-in closet I turned in to one) close the door, turn Pandora on to The Piano Guys station, and write. Generally I have a cup of coffee and a glass of water. That's my time. Uninterrupted, quiet, and productive. What gets you in the writing zone? Happy writing everyone.
Journal Jar: Day Eleven: Prompts Ten and Eleven
Greatings, all. I missed yesterday's posting due to attending a writing conference. I had a great day, learned a lot, and met a lot of really great people. So since we missed yesterday's prompt I am providing them both today. I hope everyone is having a fruitful writing experience.
Prompt Eleven: What kind of a pet would you most like to have - monkey, snake, goat - why?
Prompt Twelve: Write a poem that begins with the last thing you can remember someone saying to you today or yesterday. See if you can use that line two or three times.
Happy writing!

Journal Jar: Day One: Prompt One
Welcome to day one of the journal jar prompts. In this video you will find an introduction to the journal jar as well as a brief list of some of the websites that I gathered some of the prompts from. You will also find the very first journal jar prompt. I feel like we all do our best to write everyday during National Poetry Month, but sometimes our busy lives get in the way of our writing and we put our writing aside for other things. We feel like we do not have time to write when, in truth, there is always time to write. Of course, these prompts are just a fun way to get us started, and extra writing is encouraged. The idea is to spend fifteen to thirty minutes a day on these prompts. Take them and run with them. You do not have to follow them exactly. Hopefully they will inspire you to write more. Happy writing.

I am having some technical difficulties getting the first video to upload. I am working on it now and hope to have it up soon. Here is a picture of the jar while you wait.
