R&W: Collected Journals 2

International, 1 partner

This is a fun, lightweight and inexpensive way to share thoughts and create a collaborative journal without all of the postage cost - and less worry of a lost journal! This swap will be International and you will have 1 partner to send to, and you can join as many or as few rounds as you wish.

The whole design is to only need to send 1-3 sheets of paper, and should qualify as a letter to mail. If you have ANY questions, PLEASE send me a PM and ask! It might be a bit confusing, but I'll do my best to explain! Please just ask.

This swap can be handwritten OR typed, but the page size should be standard computer paper (8.5 x 11 or A4). As long as the type/print does not bleed through, you may print/write on the back of the sheet as well. Writing should be clear and legible, and decoration is up to sender.

There are 3 sections for this swap.

Part 1 will be a short biography of you, at least a half page or a paragraph (5 sentences is 1 paragraph), but it can be longer. More than just "my name is, my birthday is, I live here".

Part 2 will be a journal entry of your day, at least 1/2 page long, again whatever you wish to share. If you wish to take more, that is fine. Please date your entry, though!

Part 3 This entry should be a FULL page, and can be the back side of the pager containing the first 2 parts. This entry will be a journal prompt reply. Choose from these topics: (If you can't do a FULL page on any one topic, you may use 2 topics to make up the full page of journal entry).

Favorite holiday and how you celebrate it

What values are most important to your family?

Favorite childhood memory BEST book you've read so far in 2023 TV show/series or movie that you are most looking forward to

Favorite cartoon character. Why? Do you know who 'introduced' you to the character?

What is your favorite hobby? When did you start?

Why did you join swap-bot?

Do you know any details about your family history? How did you learn the details?

That's it! Then you send only the pages you filled out on to your partner with the swap name and your ID on the page, and fold and mail in a standard size envelope. Of course the number of pages depends on the length of your writing, but this should be able to be mailed as a regular letter.

There will, hopefully, be a series of these swaps. You can add them to a binder or folder - so they are COLLECTED JOURNAL PAGES. Clever name, huh? :)

If you have ANY questions or need ANY clarification, please SEND ME A PM AND ASK!

If you would like an example, I can email you a copy of an older version of the Collected Journal swap that I did last year. It's a little different than this format, but it should still help you to see what I've got in mind. :) If you would like an example like that, please PM me with your email address and I will send it to you.

As always, if you are WATCHING, please leave a comment below.

Thank you! :)
