Love this, Roz! Wonderful, interesting expression!
I'm starting to feel kind of melancholy too as I think about IFJM ending. It's been quite an experience posting every day. I've never done that before - in fact, I've never done a journal entry (fake or otherwise) every single day for 24 days. I've learned a LOT. :)
Thanks Melinda.
And yes, that slightly melancholy feeling you're getting is WITHDRAWAL starting just a tad early.
I'm glad that you have learned a lot and I hope that one of the things you can take with you is the feeling of posting and drawing everyday and decide how that works in your regular journal and your life!
Five more days!
Roz, love the weighted line in the hair. you inspire always!
Thanks anonymous. With only 3 more days/drawings in this year's fake journal I think this is still going to be my favorite of the month.
Whoa, it's killing me that I just discovered your fake journal thing, and your fab posts.
Next year, next year ... (meanwhile, I'll just enjoy yours.)
Karen, welcome. Don't worry, you can do fake journals at any time, it's just that April is International Fake Journal Month, so it gives one a little push as it were.
Take a look over in the right-hand column, about 4 "paragraphs" down, under subscribe to this blog you'll find "2010 International Fake Journal Month Participants Who Post Their Pages."
Check out some of those links to see what other people have been up to in their fake journals. It will help you get ready for next year's celebration.
Anne Bray and Jana Bouc both participated last year so their blogs probably have posts from those volumes as well if you check the archives. There maybe some others who are returning to it and I'm just not recognizing names right now. (I have more an more difficulty keeping names in my head!)
The point is, there is some fun stuff out there for you to look at.
And the archives of this blog, especially for last year's posts, have some helpful tips (whether you keep a regular or fake journal).
I'll look forward to you participating next year!!!
