7 Writer’s Notebook Prompts to Get You Thinking

September 11, 2017 by Erica Leave a Comment

 

My writer’s notebooks are all over the place as well as my notes. I have many, many notebooks. Today I wanted to briefly mention the importance of having a writer’s notebook nearby for ideas, inspiration and writing prompts, exercises, and freewriting. They become your Idea Sourcebook – a very valuable item, indeed. Take care of these notebooks, and check through them regularly for nuggets of source material.

They become your Idea Sourcebook – a very valuable item, indeed. Take care of these notebooks, and check through them regularly for nuggets of source material.

 

Today I want to help you focus on filling out your notebook with 7 very specific prompts, which will help you delve into your deep values and themes within your life and writing.

 

Instructions

Complete each prompt by freewriting for 10-15 minutes, or whatever you have time for.

Prompt 3 – Wednesday

Prompt 4 – Thursday

Imagine the perfect book.  What is it about? What is the general story? What does it focus on and why?

 

Prompt 5 – Friday

What do you love most in life? What do you cherish most of all?

 

Prompt 6 – Saturday

If you got to start your life all over again, what would you do differently? Would you change anything? Why or why not?

 

Prompt 7 – Sunday

What theme do you most like to write about? What topics are most of your stories about? Is there a common theme or topic that you keep coming back to? Why does it interest you so much?

 

 

I hope you find some inspiration these writer’s notebook writing prompts. If you have any questions or thoughts, please do not hesitate to leave me a comment below. I will reply as soon as I can!

 

 

Happy Writing,
