Description:

You will create a mini zine that documents a month of your winter winter. Each day, beginning on November 1st you will create a journal entry. You may just write a sentence or two, draw something, or glue in some memorabilia. It doesn't matter. Just do something/anything each day. If you can fit 31 little entries into an 8 page (1 piece of folded paper) zine then awesome! If you can't that's totally cool. Just keep your zine no larger than 4x6 inches tall.

Each entry must be dated.

You will NOT send an original to your partner since you will have 4 partners. You keep the original.

Must have a 4.98 to join. Partners will be assigned on October 31. I will send participants a reminder message to start journaling.

SAMPLE

November 14-

I hung out with my BFF after dinner then when I got home I stayed up late watching reruns of Breaking Bad.

November 15-

(glue portion of grocery store receipt)

November 16-

The kids and I went to the park where we ran into an old friend. Our visit ended up lasting a couple hours as we reminisced about serving on the PTO board together.

November 17-

I think I am coming down with something. I keep coughing and my throat is sore. Yuck! I don't have time to be sick.

You did mean to say a zine that documents a month in your WINTER, not summer right?

So, if I would decide to make entries larger to incorporate sketches or bits of collage, it's likely that I won't come close to documenting 31 days. If someone only documents a fraction of that but does so in an artful way, would that go against the "spirit" of the swap and affect the rating? I'm unclear if it's more important to jam as much "text" or document in a more visually appealing way. Or are you wanting a combo of the two?

I think the point of the swap is to document every day of the month. Maybe make a bigger zine using A3 instead of A4 ? This is very tempting, as it will be such a tiny space for each day.

I do like the compactness of the size...something to pop into your pocket. A place to keep the bits of life:) You could always make word lists of each day. or a doodle for the entry. I made a template so now I can print out the framework and fill it. When willl partners be assigned?
