Writing prompts

Not sure where to begin? Start here.

Every journal starts with a single question worth answering. Here are a few of ours — choose one and write for five minutes. That's all it takes.

For writing to yourself

Your own story, told honestly.

What would you want to remember about today, ten years from now?
What's something you know now that you wish you'd known at twenty?
Describe a moment from the past year that quietly changed you.
What are you most proud of that no one else knows about?
For writing to someone you love

The words they'll return to.

What do you most want your child to know about who you are?
Write about the moment you realized how much this person meant to you.
What would you tell them on the hardest day they'll ever have?
Describe them — not how they look, but how they feel to be around.
For writing about someone you've lost

The memories worth keeping.

What do you miss most about how they said your name?
Write down a memory you're afraid of forgetting.
What would you tell them if you had one more conversation?
What did they teach you that you didn't realize until they were gone?
