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.

That is all for my day five. 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 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.

ZineWriMo 2024 Day 1: Brainstorms & Thought Gardens

ZineWriMo Day 1: Brainstorms & Thought Gardens: Come up with ideas for the month ahead.

Is anyone else completely unprepared for November?! My goodness.

Alas, time moves on whether or not we are ready for it! But November brings ZineWriMo, and day one brings on of my favourite activities: brainstorming! Or thought gardens, which I also like calling it. (I can’t decide which term is my favourite.)

It’s hiding a little underneath the prompts list, but pretty much everything to do with Sea Green Zines and zinemaking goes into my SGZ notebook (covered with stickers <3).

That said, I have also been known to get out a big A3 piece of paper along with a lot of coloured markers and then just having a go with the possibilities. These are all paper possibilities, of course. You can go digital as well! I haven’t found anything online for brainstorming that I like, but if you have please let me know! I’d love to check it out.
