Sharing Free Prompt Lists & Resources

Yes… there are over 18,000+ writing ideas and journal prompts here on my blog for you to use. Best of all, there are even more prompts to come. 

Oh, and all of these prompts and more started years ago when I published a girl’s journal and a boy’s journal.

Further…

I love supporting your journaling adventure and helping you take an ordinary journal and your journal entries and giving them “a new look” and a new feel. Ideally, one that encourages a positive outlook, and healthy relationships — with yourself or others with the help of your buddies.
