More of a reader than a writer? No problem! We'll also need the help of the community to read through the entries and nominate their favourites in the categories of Best Comedy, Best Slice-of-life, Best Pictures, and Best Writing!
Task Create a new thread in the Island Journals sub-board and post a minimum of 10 journal entries across 10 different days between January 14th 2023 and February 12th 2023 (11:59PM EST). To declare your submission, drop the link in this thread to let us know you are participating.
Rules & Guidelines Event Rules
- You can use a new island or an existing island. We aren't asking you to restart for this event!

i may have to sit this one out since while i am trying to play daily, i honestly just do my daily tasks and turn the game back off haha. i don’t really have the energy or creativity to post interesting journal entries with 100+ words, but i’ll see what i can do. maybe this is a sign for me to start working on terraforming and decorating my island? 
a book on the beach!!
I don't know how y'all manage it, especially when you're still recovering from the holiday event, but I am very grateful!!! 
And repeating this process over and over and over is all ever do nowadays, so I don't know what'd I'd even write about... 
Except I don't even feel any attachment to it, unlike my main island, so I haven't loaded it up in forever...
Oh the dilemma!
