Shared journal experiment #20

Oh man, you mean I have to wait that long??? I already have the journal all answered and ready to go! (I think I need a 12 step program on patience!)

@carrie2108 I know what you mean. I am very anxious to move the journals along. I'm actually still waiting to receive the journal from swap #19.

I know what you all mean too I find it hard to wait I'm still waiting on #19

I know about the patience on these, I'm waiting to get mine from #19 as well. That's part of the reason I'm trying to space these out some so we have a chance to get them before the next one starts up.

I have @amandat0913 's journal

Well, theoretically, this round is looking pretty good! :)

Still waiting on #19...

Me too! Sorry for the problems. Keep me informed if anything else transpires. E-mail works best, but...

I have @happytuedayrain journal. :)

I am new to this so I have a few questions ok. What size journal 5x7 ok or does it needs to be larger? The journal prompt to your partner do mean a question? Do you have the same partner each time? Are you suppose to do all 80 swap pages or just if you want to?

OK. So you have one partner. What happens when your partner gets your 80 page book? Does she answer your question and send it back to you, or does it get passed on?

Ha ha, Carrie2108! I need a 12 step program, too, and #19 was only my first one!!!

Finally got #19 and I have JenL one of her angels.

JenL if you need an angel I have a journal ready to go

1. Most people are doing composition books for their swap journal.

2. Yes, a prompt is a questoin your partner can answer.

3. Liklihood of having the same partner everytime is quite unlikely.

4. You only fill enough pages to do a.) a bio about you b.) a journal entry about you/your day/whatever and c.) answer the prompt your partner sent /you/. and d.) write your own prompt.

The idea here is that you are filling a journal with many, many different people's entries. Your journal will travel around the US getting filled up. And when it is full, the last person looks at the address written in the back of the journal, and sends it back to you.

This will be my first round, so I just have a question about what to do if you are the last person to write in the journal. For example, if your entries fill up someones book and you mail it back to them, do you start a new journal to send out for the next round? If you don't you wouldn't have one to trade anymore...I'm just not sure if I am understanding that part correctly! :)

thisphoenixrises I have wondered the same thing. I would just start a new journal. But I really don't think you would have worry about it for a while all the journals I've gotten are far from being filled.

If by chance, you get a journal in which YOUR entry fills it, you would send it back to the original owner (address in the back somewhere) and then you would create a new journal to send to your partner for that swap.

That's how it was explained to me.

But yea, I think few, if any, are close to being finished.

If you are beginning a journal, do you write your own prompt, or ignore that part?

You just write the question for your partner to answer.

Can someone PLEASE tell me if they have my journal? ...

Thanks for answering all the questions ladies! I appreciate it! AND also thanks for all the offers to angel. Just want to check to see who has NOT gotten one for #19 yet.... pm me and let me know then I'll let hollydays know as well.....

Mine came. It's Bonnie Core's.

Ah I just realized this journal belongs to someone who's been fully suspended. Oh well, it will continue its rounds.

Anyone out there have mine? Cubsfanjennie... I hope I put that in there.....if not Jennie Silha....sorry...midnight shift is killing me! ;)

It had both your username and real name in it, @cubsfanjennie I got it first. Or, do you mean your original one? Because I know the pink one I got from you was a restart.

(NOT that I am planning this in the near future..just want info..) What do you do if you are ready to get out of the swap? How do you get your journal back, and who would you send the one you have to? (again, just curious about the logistics!)

And ugh! the waiting is killing me!

@Carrie2108 I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you're probably just out of luck. Hopefully your journal will continue to move until it is filled and then come back to you, but probably not at that point.

Really, getting any of our journals back is kinda a roll of the dice since people keep coming and going in this swap. I bet there are many people who dropped out, but their journals are still moving.

hi i am new and i know you said i need points to prove my sincerity. I solemnly swear i will make this book, do everything and send it out whenever it is ready to be recieved.thank you

the partner i sent to last time hasn't joined this one, and hasn't logged in since august. that's fairly discouraging :/

This is exactly what I've been looking to do. I keep joining other journal swaps, and my partners are buying small books and filling them up and then I'm stuck with a journal from someone else. I like the idea of them moving along. :)

I have @Chelle523 s journal!

I have corioliskat's journal...it's so cute!

Glad to hear it's circulating! :)

I will angel if anyone needs... Someone sent my journal back to me but had only a few entries.

That was nice of them to send it back to you. :)

Sending out Diane herlihy's journal today. Already at post office. Sorry its so very late!

For those of you who would like to be a part of the reboot for these swaps, here's the swap for that:
