"The Carnival" journal was so much fun to create. I call it "the big gulp". In this journal, you'll find a hypothetical story about a girl in her mid-20s who meets a nice gentleman while browsing for books at the library on her day off. She meets a tall and handsome, casually-dressed guy that finds interest in her. They go out on a date....and you'll find out the rest when you read it! You can kind of feel yourself in the story or have someone else in mind. Just something to spark your interest while journal time. Here's something to think about: As you read the story, does it remind you of yourself? Or someone you know? Describe the characters. What do you think would happen next? What's your idea of a perfect night?
