Hey there, if you're anything like me and struggle with the consistency of journaling or finding the time and topics to write about, I've got your back! I used to be in the same boat until I took a 'brave' leap and joined a creative writing course last year. To keep the momentum going, I hopped on a WhatsApp group that shares weekly writing exercises – a game-changer!

Let's talk themes: Memories I don't want to forget. Imagine stirring up those emotions with just five memories:

  1. Last summer's highlight

  2. A moment at school

  3. A childhood memory

  4. The first time I drank alcohol

  5. A trip with friend  
      

These prompts nudge you to reflect on stuff you might've buried or simply forgotten. It's a journey of rediscovery!

Now, if you ever feel like you just can't get started and the ideas won't flow, try this: Set a timer for 5 minutes, and write without lifting your hand. It could be about anything – a memory, a feeling, a scent – whatever gets those words flowing.

I found that having a cool notebook adds to the vibe. Find one that makes you feel like the moment is special. Trust me, this combo of themes and a fancy notebook has kept me writing regularly and unleashed a whole new level of creativity. Give it a shot and let those memories flow onto the pages!

The notebook I chose ;)
