J Is For… Just Write It! (aka Following One’s Own Advice)
So. It’s the 12th. Of April.
Yeah, I noticed that too. It was the 6th of April like five minutes ago. Oof.
Here’s what I tell others when they say to me during a challenge, “But I’m so beehiiinnnd!!!” I say, “So start with where you are!”
What does that mean for me today?
Well, for a start, it means posting on the blog. I checked my Postcrossing stats, just to see where I was on sending out cards – my goal is to have all cards out at all times, and last time I checked I still had four out – and it turns out I’m behind there, too:
This is what it looks like once you sign up for an account on Postcrossing. (If you’re interested, you can click the image and I have it set up to take you straight there). When you start out, you only get a few cards to send, but as you send more and others note they’ve received them, then your send count goes up.
I’ll grab my postcard stash and request an address, and then work through the list one at a time. I once selected six at the same time and then got busy, and couldn’t write them in a timely fashion; I don’t do that now. I pull the address when I am sitting in front of my postcards so I can send them right away.
How many of you are already in Postcrossing?
If you’re not into it yet, would you like to know more about it?
Let me know in the comments!
Write on!
Good advice to just do it and acknowlege the present leaving the angst of things not completed in the past

Sometimes following your own advice is the hardest. I’m not familiar with postcrossing.

That could be fun. Or another cost. $5.76 in US stamps to send 12 postcards, plus actually buying the cards. Worth it for people who really collect postcards, I suppose. Which some people do. I see less and less of them lately. Sad.
Great post! Hopefully you’re enjoying the A to Z Challenge as much as we are this year.
