Ack, almost missed it!

This week's Minimum moods are: Enthralled, Happy, Indescribable

This week's Medium moods are: Discontent, Gloomy, Anxious

This week's Maximum moods are: Impressed, Jubilant, Loved

I'm in a hurry to get to bed this week, so I don't have a lot of discussion-promoting text this time around. Still, if you want to talk about any of these moods, or if you're having trouble finding inspiration, or are having an easy go of it, I hope you'll still take the time to chat; let's talk about it!

Time to plug in the next batch of moods!

This week's Minimum moods are: Determined, Devious, Energetic

This week's Medium moods are: Stressed, Excited, Optimistic

This week's Maximum moods are: Horny, Good, Grateful


As a quick discussion reminder, I do want to keep this comm friendly for all ages, so if there's something 18+ -ish that you want to do with Horny, please either hide it under Details/Summary tags, or post it in your own journal and link it back in the comments.

Other than that, have at it as usual! What are your thoughts on this week's moods? How do you think you'll portray them? "Good" in particular seems tricky to me; what are your thoughts? Let's talk about it!

And so we begin Part 4! This is a pretty special week, because it's the first time that all three tracks have different moods to work on.

This week's Minimum moods are: Angry, Awake, Confused

This week's Medium moods are: Stressed, Excited, Optimistic

This week's Maximum moods are: Chipper, Ecstatic, High

Goodness, that's some mix of moods we've got! Still, unless you're working on all three tracks at once, it probably won't be a problem. And even if you are working on all three tracks at once (...you'd tell me if you were, wouldn't you?), I still believe in you! You've got what it takes to make all three mood themes of your dreams!

Do you have any particular goals for this week? Do you expect to have difficulties with any of the moods? Or maybe you've got great ideas for all of them already? Let's talk about it!

It's time, at last, for the third break!

How are you doing with your moods? Are you keeping up? Are you satisfied with what you've created? Maybe you need to catch up, or want to revisit a few moods—this is a good week for that! Or maybe you want to get a little bit ahead of the schedule and take your break at a different time, or even take a longer break later; all good options!

What you do with this next week is up to you, so go enjoy it!

Goodness, time flies so fast; we're already in the final week of Part 3!

This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Relaxed, Silly, Uncomfortable

This week's Maximum moods are: Hyper, Amused, Cheerful

As with last year, for anyone who's taking the Maximum track and wants to skip December, I'm adding an optional mood to the sixth week of this and the next four parts (total of five optional moods). Anyone who's working on that track and takes the optional moods will be able to skip the last two weeks of the schedule!

This Part's optional mood is: Accomplished

For discussion, I had a lot of fun last year coming up with "Cheerful", who ended up cheering on Dreamwidth users; things worked out extra nicely, in that the mood itself falls under Three Weeks for Dreamwidth! Are any of the rest of you relying on puns or alternate interpretations at all? Have you had any trouble with previous moods, or do you anticipate trouble with these ones? What's the most creative you've had to get with a mood so far? Let's talk about it!

*suddenly overcome with a cold sweat* Holy crap it's Wednesday, isn't it? And only for another fifteen minutes where I am! I need to share the next set of moods!

This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Scared, Thoughtful, Working

This week's Maximum moods are: Curious, Predatory, Bouncy

I don't have much to add this week, except to observe that we're right in the middle of [community profile] 3weeks4dreamwidth, the annual celebration of Dreamwidth's birthday! Tremendous thanks to all of the hard working staff and volunteers who make Dreamwidth such a fun place to be.

Welcome back for another week's worth of moods!

This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Nerdy, Okay, Sad

This week's Maximum moods are: Moody, Pissed off, Rushed


I don't know about anyone else, but I am feeling Rushed today. Too many things to do! Probably plenty of time, but does my executive dysfunction care? Not so much.

How about you? What are your thoughts on this week's moods? Are you having an easy time with them, or is it taking more work? Do you need help with any? Let's talk about it!

Phew, I made it this time!

This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Enthralled, Happy, Indescribable

This week's Maximum moods are: Infuriated, Irate, Irritated

TBH, I still don't get why we have both "Irate" and "Irritated"; maybe there's some subtext that I'll just never get.

What do you think? Do the moods for this week make sense, you know, as moods? Are there any other moods you can think of that make you go "Bwuh?" And are you having any trouble with this week's moods? Let's talk about it!

Ack, I forgot to update yesterday! So sorry about that; I got caught up in writing Dreamwidth tutorials...

This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Determined, Devious, Energetic

This week's Maximum moods are: Enraged, Frustrated, Grumpy

What are your thoughts on this week's moods? Are they relatable, or are you feeling something different this week? Did ideas for them pop immediately into your head, or are they taking a bit more work? Let's talk about it!

And we're back on track with Part 3!

This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Angry, Awake, Confused
This week's Maximum moods are: Bitchy, Cranky, Cynical

I've also got a little treat; thanks to the excellent work of [personal profile] magibrain of [community profile] allbingo, I've wrangled up some Bingo cards that cover a lot of the basics! The Minimum Mood Card has sixteen moods (the bare minimum plus Uncomfortable, the next most populated mood), while the Medium Mood Card has all of the most populated secondary moods, plus the four that I thought would get the most use. Along with the Mood Theme Calendars for a Mood Theme in a Month, I thought they'd be a nice addition to this community's options!

Any thoughts on this week's moods? Anyone joining in for the first time this round, or new to the community and looking forward to watching? Are you looking forward to completing any of these goals? Let's talk about it!

We've made it to Break Two!

For everyone following along with the Medium or Minimum Tracks, congratulations! You've reached a stopping point. If you want to start a new mood theme or keep going with one you're already working on, those are both great options, but so is sitting back and basking in the glow of what you've accomplished.

If you're following along with the Maximum Track, we're a little short of a third done as yet, but this is some major progress! This is a good time to start uploading some of your images, if you haven't already.

Now's also a good time to go back for any moods you've missed. Or maybe you want to re-do a few. Or perhaps you want to get ahead of some future moods? All good options!

While you can share completed moods at any time, this is also a good time to do that, with no official moods to work on this week.

Whether you do any of the above, or spend the next week just resting, I hope you've been having a good time at Mood Theme in a Year. Let's talk about it!

We're in the final week of Part 2! This is the home stretch for both the Medium and Minimum Tracks.

This week's Minimum moods are: Relaxed, Silly, Uncomfortable

This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Tired, Aggravated, Annoyed


As a side note, "Tired" is the final mood that branches, so anyone who wants to cut out a little early, it's also a good stopping point.

Next week is our second break of the year! Following that, we'll be diving right into derivatives of Angry for the start of Part 3, while the Medium and Minimum Tracks will start at the beginning again. Are you making good progress on your mood theme? Looking forward to a break? Maybe you're almost at the end? Or maybe you're looking forward to joining in for the second round of the Medium Track this year? Let's talk about it!

Time for more moods!

This week's Minimum moods are: Scared, Thoughtful, Working

This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Exhausted, Sick, Content

As a note, Sick is the last tertiary mood; there are only two other moods that branch out after this one, and they don't branch very far. If anyone's looking to dip out early, this is a good stopping point. Sticking around to finish out the Medium Track won't take much longer either, though, with only another three moods after Content. At the end of the day, pick the track and stopping point that makes the most sense for you, even if it's not part of the official schedule!

Any thoughts on stopping points? How about the progress on your own mood theme? Interested in starting another one when this Part is done, or continuing along the Maximum Track? Let's talk about it!

This week's moods are brought to you with a side of facepalm 🤦‍♀️


This week's Minimum moods are: Nerdy, Okay, Sad

This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Satisfied, Mischievous, Exanimate

I also just realized that all of the dates in the Mood Theme Schedule are based on last year, which was a leap year; this didn't make much difference in the first two months of the year, but started throwing things off at the beginning of March 😅 Oops! I'll see about getting that fixed up in the not-too-distant future. In the mean time, I hope you'll bear with me and the slightly incorrect date listings.

In non-date related news, what are your thoughts on this week's moods? Are you ready to tackle them, or do you need a bit more inspiration first? We're also coming up on the end of the Medium Track for the first time this year; is anyone working on that track, or thinking of starting it next time? Let's talk about it!

Aaaaack! I almost missed it, but I didn't in the end! This week's moods are here!

Today's Minimum moods are: Enthralled, Happy, Indescribable

Today's Medium and Maximum moods are: Discontent, Gloomy, Anxious


Anyway, still busy-ish (visiting family half-way across the country) so I still don't have much to say, but I'd love to hear all of your thoughts on this week's moods! Let's talk about it!

I hope everyone's up for more Part 2!

This week's Minimum moods are: Determined, Devious, Energetic

This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Refreshed, Surprised, Lazy


I'm afraid I've got rather a lot of plates spinning this week and don't have much commentary to offer myself, but maybe you do? Let's talk about it!

And we're back! I hope everyone had a nice break week.

Starting this week, the Medium and Maximum tracks keep going forward, while the Minimum track restarts. If you want just a tiny mood theme with the fewest possible images, now's a great time to get on board! If you want a somewhat more robust mood theme, you can still join now, and finish up the first eighteen moods in Part 3. Or you can double up, and do six moods a week! It's up to you.

This week's Minimum Track moods are: Angry, Awake, Confused

This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Stressed, Excited, Optimistic


Are you ready to get back to work? Or maybe you're starting your mood theme now? Are you new to the community, or have you been hanging out here for a while? And what are your thoughts on this week's moods, for any track? Let's talk about it!

Congrats, everyone! We've made it to the first break!

If you've been following the Minimum track, you're all done now! If your aim was the Medium track, you're half way through. If you're going for the Maximum track, you've still got quite a ways to go—but you've got people on your side to cheer you on!

During a break week, you've got plenty of options. Taking an actual break is a wonderful approach, but you can also catch up on any moods you missed, try and get ahead of moods from the future, share any progress you've made (while you can also do this whenever you feel like it, break week is a good landmark for anyone who wants a clear deadline of when to share stuff), re-do any moods you're not pleased with... Or anything else! Break time is your time, so you decide what to do with it.

Mood posting resumes next week with Part Two; the Minimum track will resume from the beginning, while the Medium and Maximum tracks will match for another six weeks.

Got some more moods for you!

This week's moods are: Relaxed, Silly, Uncomfortable

These are the first secondary/"branch" moods, which I focus on only because they have the most moods that also branch/leaf off from them. If you only want to do a little more than the bare minimum for a mood theme, but still want a good variety of images, these ones should fill things out nicely. That said, the last of the strictly mandatory moods were last week, so if you're not going for the Medium or Maximum mood tracks, these ones are just for fun! Make as many or as few moods as you want to from here on out.

Do you have any thoughts on this week's moods? Are you here for the Minimum track, or are you sticking around? Maybe you'll be starting with the next Part in February? Whatever else, I hope you have fun! Let's talk about it!

It's Wednesday again, time for more moods!

This week's moods are: Scared, Thoughtful, Working

These are also the final mandatory moods. The fifteen moods we've covered so far are the bare minimum for a working mood theme; if that's all you want, you're good to stop here! If you want at least a little bit more image diversity without having to work much harder, stick around for another week, and you'll be pretty well covered 👍

What are your thoughts on this week's moods? Are you aiming to be done with the minimum, or are you looking to branch out a little farther? And what do you think of this approach so far? Let's talk about it!
