Hello, dear zine friends, and welcome to this Tuesday, the 26th day of ZineWriMo. Today we have a warm up all about sharing…

Warm Up: Share the Zine Love: Favourites, Odes, & Thoughts

…zine love!

Today I’m sharing my zine love with a favourite as well as a couple pages you may or may not have seen depending on how you view these posts.

First, a favourite for zinemakers of all experience levels.

Stolen Sharpie Revolution is one of the first zine-related additions to my now happy, happy zine collection. It was, is, and forever will be one of my favourite resources for all zinemakers because it covers a bit of everything clearly and concisely – not to mention being an absolutely massive help to me when I was first starting out (nearly a decade ago and dreaming of having a distro).

What’s even more awesome is Alex Wrekk didn’t just leave it at one and done. I have about three different editions of SSR as it keeps growing and expanding with updated as well as new information!

Absolutely one to check out if you haven’t already.

My other two little shares are the resources page and zine review index you can find here on the main site. They could both use some updating (please let me know if you’d like your zine shop, distro, zine blog, etc listed!), but they can be a place to start if you (like me, too) like to have plenty of time and space to poke around all of the things before diving into a new project.

What are you sharing in today’s zine warm up? A favourite zine? Thoughts on zinemaking? Let me know in the comments.

Until then, make some zines and spread a little sunshine.

Hello once more for the second post of the day, zine friends. For today’s prompt…

24 Hours on the 24th: Make a Zine (any size/type) in 24 Hours

Alas, I’m afraid that this post will be of the more boring variety, as I just don’t have the spoons with me to make a 24-hour zine – even a mini-one – today. However, there is still a lot of zine goodness to be enjoyed – even of the ZineWriMo variety, so be sure to check out the other participants below.

Until then, make some zines and spread a little sunshine.

Hello, zine friends, and oops! I’ll be posting up twice today as yesterday slipped right past me. Saturday’s prompt!

Sharing is Caring: Share Your Zine Space/Tools/Collection/Etc

I’ve mentioned a few times that the zine cave is in less than ideal condition. However, with Happy Mail Monday rolling around once a week, there is a space that I need to keep tidy for filming…

My happy mail table in front of the Wall of Sunshine! (Also known as the Wall of Awesome and the Wall of Zine Goodness.) Ideas don’t always go to plan, but I’m so glad that I followed through with the wall. It makes me smile whenever I look at it. I change and tweak things every now and then, but, for the most part, things remain the same. I will forever be so grateful to each and every person whose creations – be it anything from note, to sticker, to piece of art – have come together to be a part of that space.

How about you? What part of your zine process and/or space are you showing today? Let me know in the comments.

Until then, make some zines and spread a little sunshine.

Hello and happiest of Fridays, zine friends! What do we have on for today…

Friday Night Highlights: Show Off/Write About Your Progress

This week has been a bit of a kerfuffle, so I’m going to switch things up and put the focus – or highlight, if you will – on the other people who are participating on ZineWriMo.

The list can be an easy thing to miss once you’ve grown used to seeing it, so why not give it a little extra sunshine today? 🙂 Check out the awesomeness happening with these other zinemakers (if you haven’t already/recently). Also remember there is a ZineWriMo Facebook Group as well as the hashtags #zinewrimo and #zinewrimo2019 that you can check out on Instagram and/or Twitter.

That’s me for this fine Friday, zine friends. Reach out if you can. Make connections if you’re comfortable.

…and spread a little sunshine.
