52 Quaintrelle Blog Post Prompts/Challenges

Ciao lovelies! I’m finding that recently I’m filled with so much energy and vigor for life! Even though I have quite a lot going on, I’m really excited about all of it! I think this is very much due to the fact that I am finding so much joy in returning to the Quaintrelle Lifestyle. I hope you all don’t mind that I have been posting about it so much! It just brings me such joy. Today’s post goes right along with this theme, as I want to share the Quaintrelle Lifestyle community that I created on DreamWidth and provide a list of 52 prompts (one per week for one year) for any other Quaintrelle bloggers to use as they would wish!

To begin, if you are confused on what the Quaintrelle Lifestyle is, please read my post on “What is a Quaintrelle?”

So in that post, I discussed making a community for Quaintrelles where we could chat and share! Well I have created a rough framework for this community on DreamWidth.

Please consider joining the online Quaintrelle Lifestyle community!

And now, for the long part of this post! I wrote up a list of 52 Quaintrelle Blog Post Prompts/Challenges. One post per week for a whole year! Of course, you don’t have to space them out that way, and you certainly don’t have to write them in order. These are just a bank of prompts for your use on any blog you so choose. You can even answer them on the Quaintrelle Lifestyle community!

Without further ado, here are the prompts!
