empty pages

Nothing written yet

Empty pages are pages with nothing written or printed on them.

The phrase often carries a sense of potential or invitation—a blank notebook awaits the writer's thoughts.

Empty pages can also suggest incompleteness or failure: The report was due yesterday, but I'm staring at empty pages.
