Field Notes
Field Notes is a monthly writing ritual from Thistle & Thread Press—part calendar, part creative invitation. Each edition offers a month's worth of prompts attuned to the shifting seasons and the quieter turns of the inner self. Designed to be printed, written in, and carried with you, Field Notes is a companion for reflection, ritual, and creative harvest.
September Field Notes
2025
a month of writing for the ones you walked with and the ones you must walk without
A month of carrying both presence and absence. September holds the ones who still walk beside us and the ones who no longer can. These prompts move through themes of loss, gratitude, and companionship. They ask you what lingers, what has gone silent, and what we continue to hold. Think of thee as an invitation to honor the bonds that remain and to write toward the spaces left behind.
August Field Notes
2025
a month of prompts for what you planted, what you left fallow, and what still waits underground
A month coming to terms with what bloomed, what withered in the Summer heat, and what never took root. These prompts move through themes of harvest, effort, failure, and quiet noticing. Think of these as an invitation to tend to what remains, and to let go of what won't come back.
