January is all about new beginnings.

New overpriced Leuchtturm1917 notebook, new pens, hopefully new boyfriend (cuz the old one kinda sucked), and especially new writing ideas. I don't know if you've been catching up with the news, but we are in the year of the horse, aaaand according to chinesenewyear.net, Horse is confident, agreeable, and responsible. You should be like that with your writing prompts as well.

So, as promised, here are your january writing prompts to start your year wonderfully! Journal away (with me)! I want to be even closer to you this year, so promise we will do these together!!!

To spice things up, each prompt comes with a rule you should follow. Cool, right?


begin - january

Day 1
Prompt: Write one sentence you want to believe this year.
Rule: Do NOT explain it.

Day 2
Prompt: What feels unfinished (or maybe paused) from last year?
Rule: Write for 5 minutes ONLY.
