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. Your copy can be sent folded! 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.

I will angel if necessary after you have rated a 1. Please contact your partner first.

If you are going to late send please contact me at the very least and I will contact your partner. If I have to hunt you down for not marking sent by the day after the swap without good reason you will be put on probation from my swaps until I hate you less.

Journal Prompt

This is a more time intensive prompt, so be aware of that.
Set aside a few hours to yourself and try to do this prompt in as few sittings as possible, you will get better results.

Write a list of 100 truths about yourself
The truths can be little ones, big ones, secrets, whatever. Just 100 truths about yourself.

After you have written your 100 truths, let it sit overnight. Reread it the next day and make a page in your journal reflecting on the prompt. Did you learn something new about yourself? Were you honest with yourself? Any overwhelming feelings? Feel free to decorate this page in your own style.

Due to the overwhelmingly personal nature of this prompt, you will send your partner a copy of your reflection page only. Write your truths like no one will read them because no one has to.

tiny truth: I have recently become obsessed with using handkerchiefs. They are like little booger blankies. I love them.

Itty Bitty Truth: I'm promising myself to wade through my craft area and organize it. But I know I'm a liar.

I keep a private stash of cookies and candy.I pick my nose. I people-watch in the grocery store line. I loathe the day my 16 year old Camry breaks down for good. Need I go on...

@Barbara you are not alone on the stash. I have a "tea cupboard" since I am the only one who drinks it. It's half full of cookies, candies, crackers... and I hide the fancy cheese in the veggie drawer. ;)

One tiny truth - I really miss living in Minneapolis. :/

Robinarie 06/14/2015 #

truth is, I want to join this swap, but I won't...

oblivionspin 06/14/2015 #

@robinarie aw, too bad. It is a difficult one, the first time I wrote 100 truths it was... very intense. But interesting, for sure. Maybe you'll get the urge to do it for yourself in the future. (:
