Number of people in swap:	11

Type:	None
Last day to signup/drop:	July 30, 2007

Number of swap partners:	1
Description:
Everyone has at least one thing they'd like to improve about themselves or their lives. And what better time for this than August, right before fall starts? So I'm proposing that each person who signs up for this swap decides what they want to accomplish in August. Then, buy a notebook from the drugstore or wherever (shouldn't have to cost more than $1), write your name somewhere in it, and start writing! On the first page, tell your partner what your goal(s) is/are. And if you like, you can also write an introduction about yourself. Then, every day after that, you have to write something documenting your progress. You have to write EVERY DAY! Even if it's just a few sentences, even if you haven't made any progress. It's more interesting if we get to read about setbacks, or events that distracted you for the day, or yours fears/thoughts/hesitations. This is supposed to help you, because you don't just have yourself to report to at the end of the day, you know someone will be reading this eventually! USA only -- I'm sorry! One partner. Please rating over 4.5, and no no-sends unless you message me, and new people please message me too. You can decorate your journal if you like, it's up to you. You can draw/paste pictures in it, too.

Sighing up because this is a great idea and I know that when I make myself write something every day I stick to the routine. I might even start it early and try to make myself do fitness stuff every day for six weeks. Very into this idea! Thanks.

I love this idea, although I won't be able to participate for August. We're moving and I'll be too busy. But I'll keep my eye out for future incarnations. Have fun!

Tiny Baker - this is a great idea and I got started, but I'm dropping out because I suddenly find I'm going to be traveling most of August and it just won't work. Good luck to all who sign up.

This is the coolest swap idea I've seen in awhile! I'm so glad that I just caught up on swaps (after an eye injury) so that I can join! YAY!
