This challenge for February by Mary Robinette Kowal is charming. I am very tempted, but I think I need to stay focused on finishing my novel. It’s gone way over the schedule I originally set for it, and I am close to the end. I feel like I am walking a tight rope and if I look away I’ll fall. Taking up a project, even one as simple as scribbling a postcard a day, would be looking away.

However, if you write to me, I promise I’ll write back. I love postal mail and at one time was a prolific pen pal-er. Drop me an email for my postal address (cathshaffer at gmail), or look me up in the SFWA directory. (If you have a paper one. The online version doesn’t seem to have postal or phone contact info, much to my bafflement. Never mind, I have no idea why I was having trouble with it before.)

Have fun writing letters, everyone.
