Many teens want to keep a diary or journal but aren’t sure what to write about or where to start. Oasis Pages: Teen Writing Quest provides the road map for a personal writing habit, drawing inspiration from the four Writing Super Powers, Daily Templates, Writing Jump-Starters, and thought-provoking tips and notes throughout. All they need to do is show up and write.

At the end, they’ll have a book of their life — and the skills to keep on writing!

Created by a writer and educator with moms, aunts, grandmothers (and dads and uncles!), teachers, therapists, and anyone with teens in their life in mind, The Oasis Pages: Teen Writing Quest makes a great gift for teens who write and those who might want to.

Oasis Pages: A Guided Writing Journey for Young Writers is a keepsake, guided journal that invites tweens on a personal writing quest. Writers are encouraged to practice self-reflection through thought-provoking prompts, engaging templates, fun word lists, inspiring questions, and more. Beautifully designed, this first journal is inviting and stimulating for tweens looking for delightful screen-free activities.

What’s in the Oasis Pages Tween Diary?

You will discover a variety of guide prompts for you to fill-in and complete:

The Prompt Entry: Questions, sentence starters, and story invitations to give you a starting place to consider and write about.

The Personal Entry: Use these for free expression: What’s on your mind? What did you do yesterday? Anything big going on? What’s boring you? Figure out what you like to write about when there’s no prompt.

The Lists! Who doesn’t love a list? You’ll find these throughout the diary, with some fun follow-up options.

Sketch Pages: For all of the doodlers and drawers, as well as for the stick-figure makers, writing and drawing go together for some people. For everyone else, it’s a great way to challenge yourself.

Word Play: Not everyone is a “logophile” (word lover), but we all have words we like more than others and words we have questions about. Have fun thinking about words in new ways.

Fill-It-In: Add your own details to the basic frame of these mini-stories and expand them with follow-up questions.

Mini-Quests: You will be invited to use your diary in specific ways through an experience, such as writing outdoors or listening to a conversation in public.
