Fall Journal Prompts for Writers
Fall is all about slowing down after the summer rush, and of letting go of things that we no longer need in our lives.
It’s a perfect time for writing and reflection, especially with a cozy blanket and some pumpkin spice tea (my favorite!) So grab a journal, and get comfy with these autumn writing prompts for authors!
1. What are you proud of yourself for creating so far this year—even if no one else has seen it yet?
2. If your writing life had a harvest, what would be sitting in your basket right now?
3. What is one piece of your writing that you want to celebrate?
4. What old version of yourself as a writer are you ready to leave behind?
5. What would you write if you stopped worrying about whether other people would approve?
