YOUR LIFE IS YOUR STORY

Book Magic

After losing a long-planned trip to the ocean this summer, Macy and I decided to travel via books. What have you had to postpone or give-up amid this pandemic? You might want to pause and write about this. Consider if you want to replace losses with a bookcation (or another creative outlet–painting, gardening, baking, etc.)

If you are a book lover, you may want to explore what magic books have gifted to you by freewriting about any of the following prompts that interest you.

• What book changed you the most? Why was it important to you? How did it change you?
• What character from a book do you most admire? Why?
• What book genre interests you the most? Why?
• What idea have you read about that intrigues you. Why?
• What setting or place in a book would you most like to visit? Why?
• What three characters or authors from any books would you most like to have to dinner. Why?
• What book taught you one unforgettable lesson? Explore.

If one of these questions, leads to a deeper exploration, follow your words—and write on! When you finish, decide if you need to head to the library, create a new reading plan, or join a book club. Have fun with this.
