The Unleash Your Ink Journal cards are a deck of 40 cards with curated prompts. I made these to help you face the blank page and go beyond your current journaling. The goal is to get what’s inside your head out and onto paper.
You can take each prompt literally and write a response to the phrases or questions as it is. Or use it as a jumping off point and let anything it triggers be your starting point.
The cards help you either start, or help you break out of repeating patterns we often fall into. Many people I’ve spoken to (especially men!) find the process of writing quite intimidating.
It’s just you, your pen and the paper. These cards are here to support you in the first step.
Use the prompts in sequence or at random. Alone or in company. They are here to help you with a jumping off point to start writing.
Some cards will work for you, some won’t. That will change day by day, so yesterday’s unhelpful card might be perfect today or next week.
The trick is not to be too strict, but strict enough: don’t let the cards rule, let the pen rule. If the card makes you think of the opposite, but it gets you writing, you’re doing it right.
If the card doesn’t get you writing, write why it’s not working. Write “I hate this card because…” or “this card makes me feel like I have no imagination, and I’ll prove it wrong…”.
The Journey Begins Within - just start writing!
