One question sits at the top of each of the forty prompt pages, and the rest of the page is left for the answer. Not a list of five questions to pick from. One, so there is nothing to decide before the writing starts. That is the whole design: fewer choices at the end of a day that has already made enough of them.

Twelve reflection pages break up the run of forty, spaced to look back rather than forward: not every evening earns a fresh question, some earn a pause instead. I have skipped the prompt entirely on plenty of nights and used the page for nothing more than a list of what happened, which the ruling allows without complaint.

Seventy pages of college-ruled notes sit at the back for the nights a single question is not enough, or the nights nothing about the format fits what needs writing down. The book does not ask why a page went unused. It only keeps the ones that were.

What is inside

Prompts: 40pp; One evening question at the top of the page, nothing else offered to choose from.
Review: 12pp; Set apart from the daily prompts, for looking back over a run of evenings rather than one.
Loose notes: 70pp; College-ruled space for a night the prompt format does not fit.

The film

Page by page

A vertical film, 27 seconds: the ruling page and the figures printed on its last leaf. Synthesised ambient bed, no dialogue — captions in three languages.

A vertical film from our own bench — this page contacts nobody's server to play it, and downloads nothing until you press play.

What is inside this book?

A close view of a prompt page, the printed question set above the ruled lines left for the answer. — One question, as many lines as it takes.

The front matter page, listing the prompts and the plain notes section with their starting pages, the ruling and the signature count, and a checklist before you begin. — The questions run first; plain ruled notes follow them.

The pen-test leaf with its pen, ink and swatch table, and the printed figures: lined, 7.1 mm, 20 rows per page, one column. — Twenty rows, because the printed question takes the first line.
