Hello, zine friends! A happy summer to all my fellow southern-hemisphere dwellers!

Yes, so it’s technically December 1st and not November 30th, but I still wanted to wrap up ZineWriMo. So let’s get to it!

Our prompt for the day… our last prompt for ZineWriMo 2022… drumroll

ZineWriMo, oh ZineWriMo. How quickly you have flown by…

Looking back on the goals I set at the beginning of the month… Well, it’s not great. A flare up will do that. That being said… I’m actually pretty content. Sure, I would have liked to have crossed each and every thing off my list, meet each goal, go above and beyond…

But not being able to do that, I’m still proud that I’m okay with it all. I used to let my health issues and unexpected life things popping up upset me a lot. I used it as a means to drag myself down. These days, I’m better with going with whatever flow I’m in with life, and better at not being so hard on myself.

All up, I do feel a little bashful at not doing more, considering that I wrote up the prompts list in the first place, but I know my wonderful friends and the zine community as a whole is so understanding and supportive of anyone experiencing anything that throws their life off track.

So big hugs to everyone. It was so great to see new friends and old join in the fun. It was so very inspiring to see the wonderful creations and reflections people had along the way.

Here’s to coming back for ZineWriMo ’23 with even more creative determination.

Until then, there’s still Mini-Zine March and International Zine Month in July.

Hello, hello, and hello once more to the almost-final day of ZineWriMo. It’s been both a long and a short month, but another year I’m happy to have been a part of ZineWriMo in making the list and joining in with (some of) the prompts.

With ZineWrimo coming to an end, it’s important to me to keep the good vibes rolling into December and beyond. Like most months for the past couple of years, things didn’t go as planned. But I’m finally getting used to rolling with things as they come, picking out the good spots, and carrying them with me into the next round of this thing we call life.

I’m actually feeling very positive about December. 2023? Oh, goodness knows. But December holds the launch of a new project, some new zines (with any luck), some better weather (with any luck), and some down time for SeaGreenZines as a whole to be able to jump into the new year with good energy and a solid plan.

Yes, I said it. I said the word plan. Haha. I can’t help it. No matter how much they keep being knocked around, I’ll keep making my plans.

While this is a little vague in terms of looking forward, it works for me. It works for the brain fog, the low energy, the autoimmune complication stuff, and life in general. So that is where I will leave it for now…

Please let me know if you’re participating and where you’ll be posting so I can put your link/s on the daily list and other zinemakers can check out what you’re doing.

Happy ZineWriMo!

Hello, zine friends, and a happy Tuesday to you! Okay, so it’s not exactly a happy Tuesday as such here in the zine cave thanks to it being a heavier medication day. That said, it’s still beautiful to be here and to be enjoying ZineWriMo with you.

It’s Tuesday Trade Day!

In my eyes, trading is a huge part of the zineverse. It’s how we can connect with each other, discover new friends, and enjoy a space that isn’t about money. (No, I’m not going to get on any soap boxes. Only state that trades are fun.)

I love trades. I don’t get to do them as often anymore thanks to postage costs. But if you want to check out my Etsy shop, that’s the best way to see what I have on offer at the moment. Here are some of my favourites:
