Journal prompt
A sound you can hear at this very moment
Perhaps a sound you can hear at this very moment. Or a sound you were glad to hear today.
A short prompt from our Prompt Library, for a quiet minute wherever you are. A plain notebook and a pen will do, and a single line is plenty.
A few ways in
- You might sit still for a moment, indoors or out, and notice one sound.
- Some people like to name it in a word or two: rain, a bus, a kettle, a blackbird.
- Others love to follow it a little further: where it comes from, or whether they were glad to hear it today.
Example: 'The washing machine in the next room, and a pigeon on the sill. I was glad of the pigeon.'
A thought: Some people like to keep this to one sound. Others like to collect two or three. Either is fine, and skipping it today is fine too.
A journal is a writing hobby, not a treatment. A plain notebook is every bit as welcome.
