ZineWriMo 2024 Day 8: Friday Night Highlights

ZineWriMo Day 8: Friday Night Highlights: Show your work(s) in progress

Happy Friyay, zine friends!

I don’t know about you, but I am quite happy that it’s Friday. Feel like it’s been a long week, a long start to the month, and I am ready for some Friday night chill.

One of my goals for ZineWriMo is to pack up a bunch of long overdue mail and get it sent off to zine friends around the world. So today’s focus is getting a bunch of printing done so I can get folding and putting together those envelopes.

How is your Friday? What are you showing in your Friday Night Highlights?

That is all for my day eight. Check out this ZineWriMo post for more on the background of ZineWriMo as well as the prompts list. Also be sure to check out the links below to start connecting to other zinemakers.

ZineWriMo 2024 Day 7: Make A Mini-Zine Kit

ZineWriMo Day 7: Make a mini-zine kit for someone

Thursday greetings, zine friends! It’s a beautiful day here in this little patch of Australia and a beautiful day for making a mini-zine kit! I decided to make a kit with my friend, Black Wolf’s, daughter in mind. She’s super craft, and I know she loves her coloured pens and patterned paper, so of course I had to include plenty of both!

Have you made a mini-zine kit today? What did you include? Did you make it with someone in mind, or will you give it to a stranger? I’d love to know.

ZineWriMo 2024 Day 5: Zine Ideas Stash

ZineWriMo Day 5: Share your ideas notebook/planner/Notion/etc

Hello, zine friends! Here we are, launching into day five with a prompt I enjoy because I love to see how people organise their notes and their lives.

I’ve done quite a few different things over the years. A dedicated notebook just for ideas alone, Notion, Trello, sticky notes all over the place… For this year, though, I am happy to have found my happy place: a notebook I made myself that has everything I want and need for Sea Green Zines things. Including my ideas! I show a little bit of it in the short below.

ZineWriMo 2024 Day 4: Make a Zine

ZineWriMo Day 4: Make a Zine: Make a double-sided mini-zine

Hello zine friends! It has been a big day with a big happy mail as well as day four of ZineWrimo, but I couldn’t be happier. I don’t recall off the top of my head the last time I made a zine, but it has been quite a while. The inspiration for this one hit hard, and I’m absolutely thrilled.

I didn’t quite manage to finish it up, but I’m nearly there and very happy to (almost) have a new zine to put out into the zineverse.

I hope you all are having a fabulous day and are feeling inspired.

ZineWriMo 2024 Day 2: Plan & Prep

ZineWriMo Day 2: Plan & Prep: Set out your plan and get prepared: markers, music, snacks, & more

Here we are on day two already, and it’s time for plans and prep! Prep is pretty easy for me after months ago when I got some clear containers for all my stationery fun storage. I’m an ‘out of sight, out of mind’ person big time, so it helps to have all my supplies very much in sight when I’m at my desk.

As for my goals this month, I have decided to just try my best and see what happens. So I’m going to focus on…:

*Post every day of ZineWriMo
*Big November mail out
*Zine Project 1
*Zine Project 2
*Zine Project 3

Ah, I know. Secret projects, what are they all about. But I am hoping that making them a little mysterious will help keep me going and help me not feel so bad if anything pops up during the month, and I’m not able to meet all my goals.

My overall goal is what it is every year: to have a fun time without too much pressure. So I hope that happens for everyone this year.
