Your body is a resonant object (like an instrument). If you pluck its strings its character and being is perceivably expressed. Playing journaling games is one way of access to its strings. People call them "solo journaling games," but they are no more solo than a musician playing their instrument that can be heard through their apartment windows.
@stickydoodler and I talk with Jason Slingerman about journaling games on his just released episode. I really enjoyed it. Check it out:

I entered this because it was quiet last week. Looking at the quality of @comemartin and @arthur and @PaulCzege entries (amongst many others) I'm quite embarrassed I did already.

Is 48-words enough for the text of a journaling game that'll stick with you if you play it? I think so.

Do you know someone who likes to write? Will you be shopping for holiday gifts at #PAXunplugged this weekend?
My how-to zine The Ink That Bleeds and my journaling games The Balsam Lake Unmurders and Be With Me make great gifts. @ipr will be selling them at their booth 3701 in the Expo Hall.
Are you hype for PAX Unplugged this weekend? Have you been curious about journaling games?
@ipr will be selling my how-to zines, The Ink That Bleeds and Inscapes, and my journaling games The Balsam Lake Unmurders and Be With Me at their booth 3701 in the Expo Hall.
Kiddo: "Daddy, do people really play these games?"
Daddy: "Goddamn it, you are my natural born son, show some respect! Yes they do. People love them."
Kiddo: "I'm sorry. I just wasn't sure."
You can't get yourself a morsel of Prometheus from the supermarket meat department.
You have to take a very dangerous journey in time and space.
Why in hell would you do such a thing??
Seriously?
Play Two Raw Morsels ๐ฅฉ and find out.
"Hi, I'm a street photographer. I take photos of zines I meet on the street and post them online and I thought you looked lovely today. Do you have a couple of minutes for some photos?"
"Really? Okay. Sure."
Someone asked why I often write "game/zine" in my posts. It's because making journaling games I play and publish is a living metaphysical part of myself. They're not just games. They're not just publications. The making is the self is the game is the zine.
