Product description
The Creative Block features 300 sheets in a variety of twelve different creative prompts, designed to get your pen moving.
---
We all know about creative block. Whether it’s caused by limiting beliefs, no inspo, an unexplained low, lack of space… Whatever the reason, it sucks.
So how do you turn the tap back on? How do you get your ideas to flow again? How do you get back to that feeling of exhilarating creativity? The one where you’ve got it all at your fingertips. It’s in your hands. You’re a genius at work.
But you’re staring at a blank page. And the tap is dry.
In 2017, we designed a testing pad for our stores to encourage you guys to pick up our pens and get them moving. To get your draw on. To have some fun. Wordplay or pencil play. Pressure-free. No big deal.
Since we made them, you’ve been asking to buy them. Everyday.
Well, now you can.
We call it The Creative Block. We got stuck on the name.

It's designed by us and printed by our buddies in Bristol. We've used an uncoated 100gsm Italian paper stock made with 80% recycled fibres and 20% ECF virgin fibers.
It's FSC® certified, acid free, chlorine free, biodegradable, recyclable and, we hope you'll be pleased to hear, it comes without any unnecessary packaging.
It's the first Papersmiths paper product and we're proud as punch.
The twelve prompts are:
Squiggle Room

Still Life
Bust-a-Rhyme
Draw someone in the room
Self Portrait

I look forward to my annual purchase of a new diary and this one did not disappoint! I love the cool front cover and really appreciate all the space and notes pages inside
It’s really handy for clipping to any book or journal, I don’t have to hunt around for a pen
Love the layout and cover.
Love the colour, the paper quality, but most of all the design! It’s almost exactly what I’ve created for myself in my journal which will save me so much time next year .. can’t wait to start using it!
my go to every year!
Have used these diaries for several years and love them. Prompt delivery and packaged nicely.
Unique products and amazing online service!
Following a delivery issue, the staff at Papersmiths were very helpful in resolving the issue and kept me updated throughout.
Love the product which is a gift for a friend and will definitely purchase from these guys again.
Honestly I have been looking for a hardbound fabric notebook that is lined with 6mm ruling for a long time so I was ecstatic when I found this. The pages lay flat and the notebook is really durable and a pleasure to use.
There is slight bleed through when using larger nib size fountain pens but using a fine nib there is no problem. I only wished the paper was like an off white/cream colour rather than the bright white paper colour but that's just my preference.
Cartridges for my much-loved Kaweco Sport fountain pen in black and orange (my favourite of the Kaweco ink colours) arrived very quickly, as always, thank you!
After a birthday trip to Brighton my wife and I stumbled upon paoersmiths. They are and continue to be her preferred stationery of choice. Great colours, finishes and writes. Whenever she starts a new project it'll be a new book and a new pen. Anything that pleases my wife this much deserves a review.
