Enrichment

 As some of you know (because you are receiving them,) I've been doing a pandemic postcard story thingie for the last three years (or however long ago it all started.) It turns out the last set that I sent out featured a character I was unaware of from Final Fantasy maybe. At any rate, this amused my son. I happened to come into the room when he was explaining on a voice channel in his Discord, "For context," he said, "My ima is an author. She needs... enrichment."

I LOVED this characterization both of the project and of me.

I feel like an octopus in an aquarium, in need of enrichment. 

In fact, I spent much of yesterday reminded of this and repeating to myself, "I need enrichment." It started because I discovered, hidden in the back of my desk drawer, some postcard sheets that work with my printer. I had this sudden lightbulb moment: "I... could... PRINT MY OWN... postcards." 

My printer makes postcards. I am excite.

This is especially exciting to me because my cheap source of postcards utterly dried up. It used to be that I could get really amazing, professional quality postcards from DeviantArt. I don't think they were a money maker, because I have since discovered that this option is no longer available. I feel responsible. I can't imagine anyone else was ordering the quantity of postcards that I used to. At any rate, I suspect that DeviantArt was not charging nearly enough because my shift to Redbubble has proven MUCH more expensive.

So!  Now I can make my own!  I mean, I will still supplement with stuff from Etsy, but this is kind of amazing news. 

At any rate, I am now amusing myself (getting that enrichment) for pennies on the dollar. Whoot!


P.S. If you are reading this and are thinking, "Wait, how can I get in on this postcard madness," just drop me a line in the inbox here (though I often forget to check that) or at [email protected] with your snail mail address.
