Upsetting News

Back on day twelve we used random words from news or social media for writing, and on day twenty it was suggested to use a random article from Wikipedia. Today is the next leg of the current events based aspect of journaling: choosing a news story that makes you upset.

Day Twenty-Four Prompt

Writing about current events in the news is a good way to explore fears and anxieties. This exercise is a perfect way to explore your thoughts and understanding more carefully. And it’s a way to understand your own fears and anxieties in a more detailed way.

What News Is Making You Upset, Fearful or Angry? Why?

Note: These prompts are being supplied as a completely optional item for you to use, if you are stuck on what to write. In fact, you might want to use one of the earlier prompts later in the month if you get stuck.

Leader Board Update

I’ve been giving this a bit of thought. I think posting the leaderboard in here twice a week should be sufficient to show the progress the participants are making in the goal. My current thought is to post it on Sunday and Thursday, but I might change the days if I think of a reason to.

Instead, I will supply the link to the leaderboard most days. If you want to join us in the event, use the Join Code listed in the sidebar on the right.

If you haven’t seen them already, we have two (hopefully) helpful documents:

And, if you didn’t have it already, here is the link to the TrackBear App.

Closing Note

If you haven’t posted before, leave us a comment below. We’d love to get to know all the participants in the event.
