Description:

This is a journalling swap.

You will need a spiral notebook for this swap. The notebook should look like a school notebook, one subject. 10 1/2 by 8 is usually the size.

In your journal you must include the following:

1) 5 Character Bios: In this you will create 5 characters that will star in your short stories. Each character must have a picture (can be a magazine cut out, a celebrity picture, a drawn picture, etc.) and have a character summary (can include personality traits, hobbies, interests, relationships, etc.).

2) 3 Locations: In this you will create 3 locations where your stories can take place. They could be the main location, or can be places your characters go to or mention for only a second. The locations must be mentioned in each story, all three. The location pages must have a picture of that location (either drawn or pasted in) and the name of that location. It could be as simple as "Stacy's Room".

3) the Prompts: You will use 3 song titles to use as inspiration for your 3 short stories. your titles should be the titles of the songs you choose. So, you get to choose your songs for this.

Because the song lyrics already tell a story your version should be a retelling of that story in your own ideas. As long as you have the basics of the song that's ok.

So recap: You are writing 3 short stories that include your 3 locations in each story, and your 5 characters mentioned in each short story. you do not have to focus on all of your characters. A name mention is fine. (ex) on Stacy's desk the names Regan <3 Terrance was engraved in rough strokes...)

You choose how many pages you want for your short stories. #Whatever amount sounds best for you.

The 1st two steps are to paint a picture in your head for when you read the actual short stories.

Rules: You must have 25 package 3 swaps rated 5s. No recent one's or no sends. No flaking! this is a time consuming swap! I will be checking profiles before assigning partners.

Hope you have fun with this! :)

This sounds like a great idea...but 3stories would be like 15pages...thats too much for me this time..maybe make it shorter? x

Not sure what those songs are! Could we just choose the ones we like?

Too late for me to do this now. I'm interested though. Would you consider doing it again? Perhaps in the Write Now group? I notice you belong and so do I.
