A Year of Journaling for Browniemommie2005 and Jul

For this swap, we will keep a journal of our choice for one year.

We will write in it once a week for a total of at least 48 entries.

Entries can be any length and consist of anything we feel like (writing, drawing, collage, etc.. or even a combination).

In case we get creatively stuck for an entry, here are some ideas to get us thinking (feel free to leave more in the comments section):

What are you most proud of about yourself or your accomplishments? Now is not a time to be humble, go ahead and embrace how awesome you are!

What’s your favorite childhood memory? Describe everything about it – even the fuzzy edges.

Does your life, week, or day have a soundtrack? Explain the tracks and even better, include a cd of the music.

What’s your favorite craft? Make a mini tutorial so that your partner can try it out, too.

Share your favorite poem, recipe, quote, short story, etc.

Embrace stream of consciousness writing – put your pen on paper and write for 10 minutes without stopping. Write whatever comes to your mind and don’t worry about transitions or if it “makes sense.”

We will be able to talk via swap-bot or email throughout this year, but the end journal should be a surprise.
