Where messy
ideas become magic
Sloppy Copy is a no-pressure space to explore, reflect, and express who we are — not just through words, but through the tactile magic of paper in a junk journal.
A page for what you haven't said out loud yet
Our guided prompts invite you to play with torn pages, personal relics, and forgotten scraps, turning your mess into magic — where every page is alive.
Character Prompt Cards
Character prompts invite you to explore your own identity or build a fictional persona through collage, texture, and intuitive play. Use scraps, images, and layers to uncover hidden truths and watch your character — or yourself — come alive on the page.

Who I Am: Discovering My Character Through Creativity & Narrative Collage
In this tactile, exploratory session, you'll build a junk journal page using scraps, textures, doodles, and a guided prompt to create your character through a sensory process. Much like an archaeological dig, you'll sift through fragments to reveal their world — making them real, dimensional, and deeply human.
Come play. Come explore. Come uncover the person you've been struggling to meet.

Antricia Tran
Sloppy Copy was born when Antricia realized creativity feels most alive in messy, textured, imperfect moments. After years of journaling starts and stops, collecting scraps, and wrestling with perfectionism, she longed for real storytelling.
So she created questions and prompts to get out of her head — with a deep love for narrative and visual expression, designing Character Prompts Journal as a safe space to explore identity, build characters, and uncover the stories beneath the surface.
