This dangerously fun guided journal featuring 365 prompts, one for each day of the year (plus a few extras!), is a daring invitation to look inward, self-reflect, and write the life you want to live.

Are you ready to look danger in the eye? To tackle the unknown? To challenge yourself to a meaningful new discipline? This guided journal invites you to participate in a transformative year-long writing exercise. Inside you’ll find go-for-broke prompts that range from reflective (“What 10 words describe the teenage you?”) to inquiring (“Do you trust your own instincts?”) to empowering (“Describe a time when you made ‘good trouble.’”).

Featuring six boldly original illustrated quotations from artist Mary Kate McDevitt, a keepsake, portable package with a combination of unique and repeated prompt styles, and part of the new Year of Creating Dangerously series, with Year of Drawing Dangerously publishing in Fall ‘27, this journal is the ideal gift or self-purchase for both new writers and experienced journalers looking to dive deeper.

Are you ready to uncover the truths within? A dangerous path awaits …
