I stare at a big empty page and I want to write. I really do. Hard as I try nothing comes to me. I can’t remember anything exciting that has happened. I can’t remember anything funny that my kids have said or done in the last few days. Nor do I recall anything particularly inspired or insightful. Yes, the highlights of journal writing. What do I write?

I usually turn to my journal jar. A lovely jar that I decorated myself full of journal prompts. I pull one out and off I go writing my little heart out. You don’t need a cute journal jar, unless you want one, because there are all kinds of journal prompt lists available online.

I’ve put together a list of 7 fun journal prompt lists from around the blogosphere.

Life of Lovely – Life of Lovely actually has a list of monthly journal prompt lists. Could there be anything more delicious than a list of lists? It’s a great place to start if you’re having a hard time deciding what to write about.

Eat Spin Run Repeat – I’ve linked to a great post with 15 big questions to answer in your journal. They’ll make you put your thinking cap on.

The Girl Who Loved to Write About Life – Blog post with 52 journal prompts to get your started.

Mandy Wallace Write or Die – 25 thought provoking journal prompts.

Good Things Realized – 25 Gratitude journal prompts. I love gratitude journals.

Hello Neverland found on Bloglovin – Letter Journal prompts. I haven’t tried letter journaling but I find the idea very intriguing. I especially like that you’re writing a letter you never intend to send. Hmmmm, what would I say?

Creative with Kids – These are some tough questions. Hide the journal you write these answer questions in.

Just making this list makes me want to grab my journal and get going. Plus now I want to try a gratitude journal, letter journal, and art journal. I hope this lists helps you get started. What’s your favorite kind of journal to keep?
