sienamysticIt's been a year that I've been part of a card club, sending a handful of cards out each month. I love buying stationary stuff but realized that it was just accumulating waiting for the "perfect" moment to send it out. Frequently I don't have anything fascinating to say, but now I can unashamedly buy new fun cards and stickers because they're actually being sent out into the world.
I also joined a penpal exchange a few years ago and sadly that didn't take. One of the two pals I was connected with was very interesting but also clearly busy and she quickly faded out. The other lady and I continued for a bit, but eventually it petered out - probably on my side, because at the time I wasn't as organized about actually sitting down and getting the mail written and out the door.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to write here and also keep a little journal for my baby niece. I don't know if this will eventually get me back into writing fic, which I stalled out on a couple of years ago. Hopefully the habit of doing one will kick the other back into gear. On the other hand, I may just not be as invested in the media I once was, and while heading over to Tumblr to look at pretty gif sets is fun, I have no stories I need to tell stuck inside my brain.
