Thank you to everyone who applied to guest blog for Storystorm 2024 next month! Bloggers have been randomly selected and will be informed soon via email!
Every year for Storystorm, I’ve sold merchandise and donated the proceeds to charity, but I had always neglected to finalize the logo and artwork far enough in advance to sell the journal in December.
Last year I managed to get it done, but for unknown reasons, CaféPress’s journal was “temporarily out of stock.” Actually, it never went back in stock, and such is still the case! I spent some time with customer service, but they could neither tell me what the issue was, nor could they promise an “in stock” date.
So, I’ve moved to Zazzle! And with artwork by the talented Courtney Pippin-Mathur, there is a beary adorable journal for you to purchase now, in time to arrive for the January festivities.
This year’s Storystorm proceeds will be donated to Highlights Foundation!
Registration will commence after Christmas, right here on this blog, so stay tuned!
Many thanks to Courtney Pippin-Mathur for her whimsical Storystorm art. I will add more things to the Zazzle shop in the coming weeks, and if there’s anything specific you’d like, please leave a comment.
Happy Holidays,
Tara

I am SO excited to participate in Storystorm again this year. The journal is ADORABLE! I won a free picture book critique on Twitter from Tina M Cho and am almost ready to submit a story based on one of my ideas from Storystorm2023!

Hi Tara, does the journal actually have writing prompt ideas? I just want to check before ordering it. I’m in New Zealand a long way away!
Thanks, Marina

No, it is blank. The writing prompt ideas will come via the daily Storystorm guest bloggers!

It might have gone out of stock because of the ongoing paper shortage! (Really!) (several years of this already)
