  • Designated space for curating your own personalized writing prompts, plus guided prompts
  • A weekly planner for listing and prioritizing your tasks and your writing
  • Writing tips that show you how to expand any journal entry and enrich your writing
  • Activities to quiet your mind and spark creative thinking, such as doodling
