PROMPTS
SIGN UP HERE
PROMPTS is for anyone who wants to write more, notice more, and feel more alive in their practice. It’s for writers, artists, and weirdos who crave an analog rhythm—something to hold, not click. Do the prompts alone, or gather a friend: each month is a new doorway in.
Each month has a theme that will be explored

- Writers who need a nudge. You want to write, but you get stuck at the blank page. A monthly packet in the mail gives you structure without pressure.
- Artists and thinkers across mediums. PROMPTS isn’t just for “writers.” It’s for anyone who works with language, image, or idea. The prompts are doorways you can walk through in your own way.
- People craving analog rhythm. If you’re tired of screens, newsletters, and constant notifications, PROMPTS is your slow alternative. Ink on paper. A letter you can tuck in a notebook. Something to hold.
- Queer, weirdo, tender-hearted folks. The themes are expansive—about intimacy, memory, attention, devotion. If you’re looking for a practice that sees you as you are, this is a space for you.
- Those who want to practice with others. Each set of prompts is designed to be done alone or with a partner, a friend, a class, a writing group. PROMPTS can be a solitary ritual—or a communal one.
This also isn’t about getting better or worse at something. It’s about being off our screens and in our work with consistency and ease.
You do not need to have a business, an art practice, or even any idea what you want to write and talk about in order to sign up for Prompts. And you DEFINITELY do not need to identify as a writer or artist or have a desire to write or put art into the world. This will support you in having more clarity in how you talk about and share your work and bring it into the world on a timeline that works for you!
Q: Do I have to be a writer to subscribe?
A: Not at all. PROMPTS is for anyone who wants to notice more, make more, or simply have a creative rhythm in their life. The prompts are open enough to work for poets, journal-keepers, artists, or anyone who doesn’t yet call themselves “a writer.”
Q: How much time do the prompts take?
A: As much or as little as you want. Some people spend 5 minutes, others an hour. The prompts don’t expire—you can return to them anytime.
Q: Can I use PROMPTS in a group or classroom?
A: Yes. PROMPTS is designed to be done alone or with others. Many people use them in writing groups, classrooms, or even as conversation starters at the table.
Q: Why is this analog instead of digital?
A: Because we don’t need more email. PROMPTS is meant to be held, folded, tucked into your notebook. Something slow, something real.
