I think it's high time I started one of these! Aiko's idea has gone over marvelously well, and I wanna be a part of it!
My journal will have (hopefully) 1000 entries, each corresponding with the writing on a paper crane. I want to create a senbazuru, which is a collection of 1000 paper cranes. Each crane will have a different phrase on it to make it unique. The cranes are usually hung in 40 rows of 25, but can be made differently if desired. The person making the senbazuru must finish it within the year, and have all 1000 paper cranes made by themself. If you follow these instructions, you get to make a wish!
Needless to say, I won't be making 1 crane a day, since the time limit is a year. So I will make as many senbazuru as it takes till my journal is complete! I'm hoping for 4, at least!
Here's how my journal will be set up:
I will quote or create a phrase for each crane in my first senbazuru. Each of these will be a journal entry. I then might say something that goes along with that entry's theme, or simply ask an opinion about it. Easy-peasy!
Here's hopin I reach 1000!

Crane 1
"...When I come to let us meet
With our usual words on the usual street."
~Chain of Memories~
I simply love this poem. We've all had to leave someone in our lives at one time. Can you think of anyone this poem applies to for YOU? If you were to meet again, what do you think would happen? Would time keep moving on as things return to normal, or would the circumstances be different?
