October journal prompts

October is conkers, the clocks going back, woolly jumpers and the first evening you really want the heating on. The prompts are cosy, a little reflective and slightly spooky towards the end.

  1. 1What does autumn smell like to me?
  2. 2Describe the cosiest evening I can imagine, from the blanket to the snack.
  3. 3What would I like to do with the extra hour when the clocks go back?
  4. 4What am I letting go of, like the trees letting go of their leaves?
  5. 5Describe a walk through fallen leaves.
  6. 6What's my favourite autumn meal, and who taught me to make it?
  7. 7What scared me as a child that makes me laugh now?
  8. 8What's a ghost story I remember?
  9. 9What am I harvesting this year — what have I worked for that's paying off?
  10. 10Which film do I always watch in autumn?
  11. 11What does 'hibernating' look like for me this winter?
  12. 12List ten things that make a dark evening feel cosy.
  13. 13What would my dream Halloween costume be?
  14. 14Who could I invite round for soup?
  15. 15What small comfort do I want to give myself this month?
