I’m looking ahead to November as we reach the midpoint of October, so this post is all about journal prompts and journaling ideas for November. My daughter and I love to sit and journal together, whether it’s just making pretty pages, playing with stationery and notebooks, or writing our thoughts and stories. I like the idea of prompts, I’ve been doing Blogtober this month, and I find the daily prompts really help me get my ideas flowing. Sometimes I go off-piste and write what comes to mind or a topic I’ve been meaning to write about, and I’ve really enjoyed getting into the daily habit of writing. I will try and keep it up throughout the year, but I’m not making any firm promises to myself, seeing as we’re only halfway through.
I found so many lists of prompts for journaling in November, so here are the ones that spoke to me the most. Feel free to use them if you want to.

Do you journal? I guess blogging is a form of journaling in its own right. I have so many notebooks, I love them so much! I’ve made the list into a pretty downloadable pdf for you to use or print out. Happy journaling and blogging 🙂
Great prompts! I am an inconsitent journaler at best, but I do find it to be really valuable when I do it!
What wonderful prompts. These are fantastic ideas for blog posts too. x
That’s what I thought too,I can’t help but think in blog posts!

Journal prompts are so helpful when you need some inspiration- great list!
Ooh, lovely ideas. I love “memories beside a fireplace” xxx
I love this list. I think I might just continue Blogtober with some of these as prompts.
I love these prompts. I keep thinking I should write letters to my children, maybe this is the month I should get on and do it.
It sounds like we are kindred spirits. I enjoy all my notebooks and stationary as well. I use it to aid with my mental health allowing me an outlet from my daily routine and mom-activities. These prompts are great for blog posts as well as journaling. I journal in a notebook were I use prompts sometimes, but I usually write about whatever comes to my mind or about my day so I don’t forget all the details as time passes. My journals help me return to all those feelings I had when going through certain situations.
