This swap is similar to the emotional purge journal swap, but for USA only because of the cost of shipping. I love swapping with people around the world, but sometimes it's just too costly to send a journal overseas.
60 of the questions must be answered. I've given some extras for leeway. Sometimes people can't answer every single question, so I figured it would be better to give more options than necessary. Please keep in mind this is supposed to help you get out your emotions; help you cope with the pain that comes with certain areas of life. Please don't give only one word answers to questions. I'd say at least a paragraph is necessary, but try to make it longer. The goal here is to get things out, but it's also to help people understand. Make them feel what you are feeling, or what you felt that day.
Your journal should be at least 5x7, but if that's the case, make it one with a larger page count. A composition book is cheap and would work best, but you may use a fancier one. You could always get a composition book and alter the cover with some pretty tape if you would like it to be pretty instead of plain. You may make your own journal, but please create a nice one. It's not necessary to decorate the cover since this is a writing swap.
Handwritten is preferred, but it's okay to type too. Write the prompt on each page, so your partner knows what you're writing about.
1 partner. 4.8 or higher rating required, no newbies, sorry. I can host another one in the future if this goes well.
This will take a lot of time to complete, so please don't join if you think you won't be able to complete it. I will angel if I have to, but hopefully it won't happen like that.
You will have around two months to complete the swap, so that's plenty of time to get this done. You do not have to keep it for 2 months, but some people only choose to write one prompt per day.
