Many people want to lead more creative lives but find it difficult to make creativity a daily exercise. In Year of the Doodle , Dawn DeVries Sokol solves the problem with a year’s worth of interactive prompts—starter doodles, quotes, questions, and fun exercises, all on Sokol’s well-loved painted backgrounds, interspersed with collaged bits of ledger, graph, and notebook paper—meant to get would-be doodlers interacting with their sketchbooks daily. Opening with ideas for jump-starting the doodle habit, Year of the Doodle is not linked to a particular year like a calendar—instead, a year’s worth of entries are numbered sequentially so doodlers can start and finish whenever they want to jump-start their creativity.

    I’ve needed a place to daily jot down little bits of inspiration, sparks of creativity, new discoveries i don’t want to forget, and I’ve found just the place in this unique little book. In 2024 I plan to use it just for this , and at the end of the year, I’ll hopefully have a treasure trove of a map where each day lead. Plus… I love a good yearly project!🥰

    I did NaNoJouMo with Dawn on Facebook and that's how I found out about this book. I enjoyed the whole journaling bit with the daily 15 minute masterpiece to share with the group. and it was a really great group! So I bought this book and now I can hardly wait until the first of the year to get started with it! Though some of the spaces seem a bit tiny, I guess that'll keep it all manageable.
