For those of you who are journalers or scrapbookers or note-keepers, designstress Ali Edwards <\/a>will be documented her annual A Week in the Life feature. The idea is to journal, take photos, and save ephemera from a week in your life, to be saved in its own scrapbook. It’s a great way to track you and your interests . . . especially if you follow through from one way to the next.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And it doesn’t just have to be about you. You could AWITL your characters, your manuscript, or devote a week to world-building. Thus, you might do something like this:<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Monday – Geography & Architecture<\/div>\n
2. Tuesday – Food<\/div>\n
3. Wednesday – Arts and Culture<\/div>\n
4. Thursday – Clothing<\/div>\n
5. Friday – Language and vocabulary<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Her “page protector” method (see photo below) of saving and documenting stuff (which I also do) would be a great way to save those photos, magazine pages, and other stuff you’ve been saving up for your novel. <\/div>\n

Ali has posted on the Basics of Documenting AWITL<\/a> and getting organized <\/a>to put your AWITL together, and posts will continue through next week (when she documents her process). <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

If any of you decide to do this–especially for your world or characters–please share! I’d love to see and share your work!<\/div>\n
