A small tool for getting started
Journal Prompt Generator helps you find the first question for a journal entry or the first idea for a sketch. Pick a category or leave it to chance. Every idea comes with three optional follow-up questions.
Made for your own pace
The English collection contains 300 original journal prompts across 15 categories and 120 drawing prompts across 12 categories. The Spanish edition offers a smaller, curated selection. All prompts are written in advance and stored with the site. Clicking Generate randomly selects an existing prompt; it does not call an AI service.
Free, no signup, no usage limits
There are no paid tiers or accounts. Your favorites are saved on your device. Write in a notebook or your preferred app; we do not collect journal entries.
A starting point, not a prescription
These questions invite personal reflection and creative practice. They do not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment. Skip a question whenever it does not feel useful.
