This October, I wanted to do something special to jumpstart my creativity. I’ve always wanted to participate in creating an October Daily, but never got around to it because I don’t celebrate Halloween. Much like how I approach December Daily, I’m taking this daily documenting project and making it my own. And this is my way of doing just that.

The prompts here will help you document once a day in your journal. While each prompt is themed as per the season, you can interpret them however you want. I tried to make them a bit open-ended, and while they’re all mostly spooky-themed—if not seasonal—there’s always another take on the prompt.

For example, “Scary Stories” can be a list of thrilling books you’ve read instead of a literal scary story. Or “Something Wicked” can be something totally awesome, instead of something dark and scary. “Pull A Card” can be pulling a tarot, oracle, encouragement, or affirmation card. That sort of thing.

The Full Moon and New Moon prompts fall on the actual Full Moon and New Moon this month.

And anything specifically autumn related can totally be changed to spring for all of you Southern Hemisphere loves!

I hope to share my process with you each day working through the prompts in my journal in the form of a journal with me video. Each video will be added to this page down below.
