Description:

If you have a hard time making time to journal, if you feel your journaling falls flat from lack of ideas, or if you want to share your journaling with other people without losing your work- this is your swap. Stay here, keep reading.

For this swap you will be journaling on a set prompt (below). You can use a journal you have going, a new journal just for these swaps, or pages of loose paper. (or napkins, or fabric, or digital stuff- it really doesn't matter.) Because you keep what you make.
You will be sending your partner a photocopy (or printed photograph, or printout) of your journal page.

It's that simple. Journal your response to the prompt. Do your best to make it nice (both for your journal and your partner) and then produce a copy and mail it off.

Copies can be made in black and white. Work can be done in any medium. It doesn't have to be perfect (misspellings and scribbles are ok sometimes) but it needs to be presentable. Be on your best journaling behavior.

Please include your swap bot name and the swap on the back of your photocopy.

Journal Prompt

"Inalien Life Forms"

Inventory the different beings living in your house. Don't stop at me, my wife, my cat. Keep going. Are there plants? Is there a little mold? Do you ever bake bread?
It will be near impossible to inventory every being in your house (well, or at least pretty boring) so try to get at least 15, but go until it's not fun any more.

After you have made your list either doodle, draw, or include pictures of at least 5 of the life forms you found. (note: if you have 50 carrots growing, for example, don't count them as different life forms unless you have named each one. Geoffe, Jim, Gregory...)

and yes, this is part of a series.

I'd really like to do some more pages in my smash book. It's looking a little sad. :(

cynaemon 05/25/2015 #

What kind of smash book do you have? What kind of pages would you like?

My goal for June is to enjoy my mini-vacation to Palm Springs in the middle of the month. :)

I am not totally sure which one it is, but it's a fairly naturey looking one. I have a big box of random stuff to glue in, but I am wanting to do some fun journal prompts in it too. (I will probably do this swap in my smash book!)

Goals that involve relaxing vacations are the best kinds of goals!

I have two goals this month: Make it to June 7, when I get to work part time for two months, as part of my contract. (Woo-hoo.)

Try my hand at journaling more. I do a lot of art journaling and it's been really beneficial, but I focus more on the art side rather than the journaling side, if that makes sense. So, now I want to intentionally journal some more.

oblivionspin 06/ 1/2015 #

@breathingoxygen I know what you mean! Every time I try to do an art journal it ends up all art and no journaling. I make a point now to keep a separate journal journal so I actually write. Good luck (:

Sorry, I only came up with twelve. :(

oblivionspin 06/10/2015 #

@cynaemon inexcusable, I am reporting you to the swap police post haste. :P Nah, 12 should be fine, it's more of a sticking to the spirit of the prompt than the letter of it. I will specify next one I post that there is some leeway.
