For the love of zines
So it turns out I am super enthusiastic about blackout poetry and listed it twice! I’ve now updated the calendar, but regardless of whether you do two days of blackout poetry or have some fun making a mess, it’s all good. Enjoy!
Day 1 – Brainstorms & Thought Gardens
And so we begin!
Gosh, I am not ready. I feel like I write that every year, but I am most definitely not ready for November this year. I feel like I needed at least a few more days in October, but here we are, and it’s time to get a move on!
Today is all about getting ideas on the paper. It’s not (necessarily, but you do you!) about choosing what you will do for the month so much as opening yourself up to all the possibilities. Creativity is a wonderful thing, and you never know what you might come up with once you start writing down (or typing or colouring) all the possibilities.
I’ve started jotting down my zine ideas in the program Notion. It can take a little while to get used to, but a few YouTube video tutorials later, and I was off and running. I like the versatility of it while also liking that it’s only as complicated as I want it to be.
It’s not a very exciting picture to share, as I want to keep a lot of things under wraps for the time being, but it’s nice to have such a big list. And Notion makes it super easy to pop in there, throw in any more ideas I have, and then move along with what I’m doing. And, in my experience, it works seamlessly between my phone and computer.
Easy peasy – and I’m all about that.
So that’s me for today. I did have to keep reminding myself that I didn’t have to choose today, just write down my options. It made of a fairly gentle but exciting start to the month, and I’m excited to start hammering out the details tomorrow.
If you are participating, please let me know! I keep a running list of all participants all month long so you can check out their posts.
