Writing prompt! Dear Diary, I am writing from the year 2040

Diaries are all the rage. Between the movie release of Diary of a Wimpy Kid to the continued popularity of one of my favorite series, Dear Dumb Diary, I can’t seem to escape those little journals filled with secrets, sketches, and silliness.

So for today’s writing prompt, let’s pretend you are writing a brand new diary — only you’re writing it from the future. Say, 2040. That’s 30 years from now! Who will you be? Where will you be? Maybe writing from the first colony on the moon. . . or from the front seat of your flying car! What will you be doing? What secrets are you dying to reveal?

Try it out in the comments!

Dear Diary, I am writing from the year 2040, and I have lots to fill you in on. . .

Dear Diary ,
It is finally the year 2040 and Rose has finally written a poem. I remember when I used to write poems all the time in 6th grade. I sat next to a kid who was really annoying so he told me I was annoying. Yes but I'm not so sure about our new Robo - Nanny. She keeps shutting off right after I leave. Well as always expect the unexpected.

This is really cool!

Dear Diary,

I never thought AVATAR would become reality. 28 years ago, it used to be 3D doing that. Now it's the real deal. And the Enterprise where the Avatar bodies are being kept? It's being powered by MY cold fusion generator. Life is good when you're smart.

Dear Diary,

The future is not as cool as it sounds. Like one of my favorite science fiction books like, The Hunger Games, or Uglies, the future is ruled by creepy pop stars.(not to insult their fans, but cough, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato) They force criminals to listen to their music and make all the citizens wear their "latest style". Forget awesome books like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, the only books now are graphic novels and romance books! I need to go write a actual book before I lose my sanity!

...My year. It was great, no, MORE than great! It was awesome! My eighth album has sold over ten million copies world-wide! And my book, it's now being made into a movie! I've already won ten awards this year, for acting, writing, and singing. Though I still need to perfect my drawings. Well I guess that's about it, all I need to do now is spend time with my husband and children.
(this entry will be from 30 years from now, I will have my own family by then,right?)

Dear Diary,
Please remind me why I am writing in this diary. It is shabby and old. Oh yeah, It's because I ate my computer yesyerday. (Computers these days are edible.) I wish I still had my computer from 2010. Too bad it's in the meuseam now.
