SHARED JOURNAL EXPERIENCE #1

I joined these swaps a few years ago and I loved them so much, that I decided I should host it myself.

Before we begin, let me just start by saying this is a LONG TERM COMMITMENT/MONEY SWAP. If you can't make that commitment, this may not be the swap for you. If you don't want to be a part of this swap for 20 or more rounds (which could mean over $50 in postage by the time it is all over), this may not be the swap for you. If a year is too long to wait to finish a swap and get your journal back, this is not the swap for you. This swap is a COMMITMENT, and if you can't follow through for the LONG TERM, then perhaps you should pick another swap. I'm sorry to be blunt, but I also want to be honest, and up-front to protect the swappers who do join.

JOINING THIS SWAP DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU WILL EVER SEE YOUR JOURNAL AGAIN. THIS IS A HIGH RISK SWAP, JOIN AT YOUR OWN RISK.

That being said…

HERE’S WHAT YOU DO:

1. Obtain a journal/notebook/comp book with at least 80 pages. (Comp books MAY be too big for this swap as they take a lot of time to fill. Just a tip. You can still use them. But journals with slightly smaller proportions may work better.)

2. On the inside front cover write who the journal belongs to - THIS INCLUDES YOUR SCREENNAME!

3. On the back page (or inside back cover) write your name and address and where to send the journal home when it is full.

4. Write a bio about yourself (about a page or so)

5. Then write one journal entry about your day, yourself, your thoughts, life, the world, whatever comes to mind (All of the above?) that you want to write about. (more than a page, please!)

6. On the next page you will then write one journal prompt for your partner to answer.

That's it; send it off to your partner!

FOR THE FINE PRINT:

*Because this is the 1st round I am allowing Newbies to join, this is your chance to participate.

*Rating 4.95

*Very filled-out profile

I will be going through everyone's ratings, etc, to check over and prevent any issues or flakers on this swap. ----- *ANY suspicious swappers will be removed. I have the final word. I'll be fair, but I'll be strict.

You will have two weeks to send out your journal. Feel free to PM me if there are any questions.
