This activity is the simplest of them all. You just have to write a journal. For this activity, there are multiple pages for you to write on with whatever you wish to write. You got a random idea you had in the shower? Write it down! Do you have stress you want to unload? Write it down!

Of course, you can either do it on the book itself or get a separate notebook for journaling.

Scattered all over the pages are creative prompts you can do too. You can ignore it, create a story with the prompt, or even make a character. This activity is entirely up to you! Do whatever you want! You’re in charge!

s i e c n e r e f e R In our modern days there are many different sources and “references” to look at. But a reference is just a reference and is meant to help you with your own work, not make it “your work”.

With that said, what are the few works that have inspired and amazed you. Pick one and write down 3 things that you would take note from it, what aspect of it will you use for your own work (ex. coloring style)
