3 of 365: A Bunch of People Are Participating in 365 Days. Will You Join Us?


Yesterday I got the awesome Luna Mask I am wearing as a thank you gift from Alizarin Goldflake. I instantly knew it would be part of my photo for today. I really do not know why I paired it with an animal print bathing suit and sat in the river on Marawa, but some things defy explanation I think.

I am thrilled to say that some folks have decided to do this crazy 365 Days project along with me. Please check out Elusyve, Owly, Guen, Caliburn Susanto, Kghia Gherardi, and the Second Life 365 Days group on flickr. If you are thinking about doing 365 Days too we would love to have you join us. cough *Tymmerie* *Bree* *Quaintly* *Bevan* *Isle* and *YOU* cough

The other person who is participating is Crap Mariner. He is a prolific writer and photographer who has been posting daily since the dawn of time, or so it seems. I admire Crap's ability to produce daily 100 word stories and photographs of his life both digital and atomic. He inspires me to dig into my own creative well and come up with some words or a picture, and he has done so since I met him back in 2007. Thank you for your support over the years Crap and please don't let the negative get you down. You do more good than you realize just by keeping at it all.

That is what the 365 Days is all about, after all. For me it is about the process of making a comittment to a creative endeavor and working through the dry spells that are sure to come.

My biological self spent most of the past two days in sweat pants and a ratty old shirt on the couch in my RL living room hovering between fever and chills. I was not able to write Chestnut's Choices for New World Notes this week. Aside from planned vacations this is the first week I have missed since I started writing for Hamlet back in January. In any case, if you have an event you want to publicize you can drop a note in the comments of this post. The photo of me all bundled up in a blanket is so true to RL that it is a bit scary.

I've been writing before the dawn of Time.

When Time dawned, made it much easier to see what I wrote.

I kept writing anyway.

Jumping on the bandwagon! I haven't had much to say lately so maybe this will help. =)

Besides, everyone knows I do what Crap's says.

Chestnut Rau said...

That is great Joonie! I am thrilled you will be participating. I always loved your photography and now we get to see more of your creativity. Yay!

Chestnut Rau said...

Botgirl I am so very pleased you are joining the fun. I have no doubt you will push this idea in many interesting directions. I can't wait!

Chestnut Rau said...

Lizzie I am so happy you are with us! I saw you joined the flickr group so I was hoping you would be posting your lovely photos there.

Tymmerie Thorne said...

LOL! I am in - starting today. But some days all you'll get is a pic. I love this idea!

Chestnut Rau said...

Yay! Tymmerie I am so happy you are doing this project with us. Some days all I am going to do is a pic too. Some days we won't even do that. Its a sustained effort I plan on, not perfection because lord knows I will fail if I look for that from myself.
