I love how many Canadian writers have shared prompts with me, and I can’t wait to share them with you and your families. This message came in from the magical Monique Polak. Enjoy! And seek out her great books–she has one upcoming that we can’t wait to read:

Monique Polak:

Here’s my prompt. I started doing it with my daughter (now 36 years old) when she was just a little girl.

This exercise is super short, but powerful. It can be done with very young children. But it works for older kids and adults too!
It can be done directly on a calendar, or else you can start a diary and do it there.
You only need to write TWO WORDS.
One word describes how your day was. Example: fun or tiring or crazy or whatever other word you can come up with!
Now come up with one word to describe how you want your tomorrow to be!
Not only does this exercise build vocabulary. It also helps us reflect on our days, and think about what we need for our tomorrows.

That’s my tip.

Okay I’ve got a few more tips while I’m at it! Wash your hands, be kind to each other, and READ AND WRITE.
