Description:

This is a swap for the writers out there.

You are going to get a composition book and write your name, swap-bot name, and the year (in this case 2013) on the front. You can decorate your cover or not, its your choice. On the last page, or on the inside of the back cover, whichever, write your address, so your journal will make it home someday.

Then, on the front page (or a few pages in, and you can ask for the names/addresses/etc of your fellow authors. ;> ) start a story. write between 3-10 pages and then send it to your partner. You can end your part at the end or a paragraph, in the middle of a paragraph, even in the middle of a sentence! When you recieve the new journal, you continue the story.

I'm gonna keep posting these swaps as long as at least one person is interested.

If you get a journal but don't want to continue the swapping, please be nice and send the journal you have in your posession home. It misses its home.

Due to this being a package swap, I have set the rating filter pretty high. If you have a lower rating for some reason and really want to join, send me a message pleading your case and I'll take it on a case by case basis.

Newbies, send me a message, same deal, although I'm more likely to get you in on the swap.

Happy Swapping Folks.

FYI: @deviousdomi has been posting a series of Short Story Journal Swaps.

Yeah, mine is pretty much the same, except they're different stories. There used to be a series of journal swaps like this "Once Upon A Time Journal". I haven't seen any of those in a months though. I think a different title for the swaps is really the only thing here.

I changed mine's name. I've never actually noticed a journal swap like this one, although I did see deviousdomi's swap and I'm gonna assume having that open in another tab is the reason I typed the wrong title.

I have no excuse. I'm honestly just that ditzy. (Is blonde an excuse?)

This sounds like lots of fun is there going to be a theme? I will be away week of march 31 but would like to try this. I am a newbie should I wait for next round?

Kimblee 02/ 7/2013 #

amazingemo- No theme, except that you get to start the story. Once its sent you lose control of where it goes from there and that's the fun part. If you want to join the swap now, you can, you'll have from Feb 21st to the 14th of March, so you should be able to do it.

If you'd be more comfortable with a private swap to "wet your feet" message me and we'll set up a private swap so you'll be sure to swap with me and can get a taste for it from someone who'll be very forgiving.

Remember folks, you can start writing the start to your story right now! Make it good.
