I’m old school in a way that I still get a little excited when I go to the mail box. actually getting real mail that is not bills or junk is a really cool feeling.

I just hate those emails from long dormant accounts that I have deleted after closing down the email contact on it…Pinterest is an example!
Then the hassle of ‘log in to an extinct’ account…six months on I’m still trying to get rid of mail from Pinterest!
A long tortuous route to an email with Pinterest to talk with a real person…
Then they claim they’ve sorted it…two days later…another email from Pinterest.

We’re writers and we’ve subscribed to your blog for quite a while (we’re just a different type of artist, right?). 🙂
This message resonates.
Occasionally we participate in author “blog hops”, where readers jump from blog to blog to read posts and (in some cases) sign up for giveaways at the various blogs.
Once the hop is done and a winner is selected, we contact each entrant, and offer to mail a bookmark to the ones who haven’t won the main prize. (The bookmark features the cover of our book, a brief “blurb”, and has our contact info on the back.) The participants are always thrilled.
We’ve even sent a bookmark to South Korea–a first for us.
Since we don’t have hundreds of entries (yet) this level of contact is affordable and manageable, and we enjoy it as much as the readers seem to.
Old-fashioned snail mail–we’re behind your message 100%, Alyson!

In reply to Alex Leadbeater.

Good job! I, too, think better on the computer now, so I understand. And remember that it doesn’t have to be long, Alex.
