One-Liner Wednesday – Just me?

30 Comments

What is it about writing the first thing on the first page of a new notebook that makes it so difficult?


If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure. To execute a pingback, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post, and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.

NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.

As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.

Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”

The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:

1. Make it one sentence.

2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.

3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.

4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!

5. Have fun!

    The blank white page can be intimidating, for sure! Here’s mine for this week … https://brendasrandomthoughts.wordpress.com/2026/08/13/one-liner-wednesday-4/

    You are not the only one. Especially when it’s a beautiful notebook. You want those first words to be magical, not something that feels mundane right after writing them.

    Not just you, and I love notebooks, journals, office supplies. 🤓

    I think some of the paralysis is all that white, clean paper represents infinite possibilities. There’s no commitment (except, you DID buy that new notebook so :guilt:). You can’t be wrong or waste time or… anything judgey because there’s nothing there yet. As soon as you write something, that all changes. Or, just me? 😀
