31 Letters in 31 Days CHALLENGE COMPLETE

Well I did it. I wrote 31 letters in 31 day. And man was it hard! I really enjoyed it though. I would recommend it to anyone. Just make sure you have lots of stamps and envelopes. When I was a freshman in college, my mom bought be 40 stamps and a box of 80 envelopes. I hardly used them over the last three years, but because of this challenge. I have had to buy more stamps and have used about half of my box of envelopes.
One thing that I wish, and am surprised to learn, is that in writing 31 letters I have not received a single back. No one has written one back. People have told me they were going to but my mailbox is empty. Which I know, that after everyone reads this, that my mail box will fill with letters right? Lets hope, I love getting mail.
It is going to be weird to start doing a page a day again. I have not done that in so long. But I am excited to continue on with the book. And by the way...can you believe how fast October went? Is it really November, because I am just not sure.
Well, here we go! More challenges to complete. One tiny problem...I do not remember what day we are on. I guess I gotta count.


See ya tomorrow!

Commitment Update

Hello World (or just the people who still read this),

I have not forgotten about writing on this blog, I just have been so busy writing letters. Which is going great, thanks for asking. I have really enjoyed writing letters to people, and I really hope that others really enjoy reading them from me. Writing a different letter to someone everyday is hard. But I only have 11 more letters to write.

Today, I wrote a letter to the author of the book, Keri Smith. I told her about the challenge that Liz and I are doing and what are status is. I told her how much I loved the book, and how much I could not wait to start Wreck This Journal. I am so happy that Liz and I have decided to do this, because it is a great way to be more spontaneous and have fun. Which is hard sometimes in this stressful world we all live in. I encourage you to find something that lets you be fun and care-free. Something that you do everyday that makes you relax. I feel very relaxed now (except that my neck hurts from sitting at my computer for like 3 hours). But I always look forward to completing my page for the day, or in this case, my letter. It is something to look forward to, and something to remember to do that is fun. You should all try it.

I will get off my soap box now, and tell you all to have a fabulous night tonight and a fantastic day tomorrow! Do something you would never think of doing tomorrow...step out of your comfort zone.

See you later. Hope you are enjoying the letters.

Commitment Update

8 letters down...23 more to go.

I have really been enjoying the experiences of writing letters to people, and I hope that I get some in return. Letters take a while to write, but I think that it is a nice relaxing break from the hectic life that I lead. Today's letter was awesome, it was to the one and only Ellen Degeneres. 8 people have received them, and I sort of select people randomly. so, don't worry, there are still 23 days left to write letters. So more letters to come. But I need to buy some more stamps.

Well more to come. More letters to write, and hey, maybe Ellen will send me a letter back!

See ya later!

Day 40: This is a Commitment

For the entire month of October, I will be doing 1 page.

Here it is:

"This is a Commitment
Do one thing on this list every day for one month.
Wear an article of clothing inside out
Read a book you don't think you will like
Sing on your way to work/school.
Give Something Away
Take a photo
Draw Something
Write a letter"

I chose to write a letter to a different person every day. Which will be fun and sort of challenging. So I guess I should probably stock up on stamps!!

If you want me to send you a letter, give me your address!!

Anna :)

P.S. I will not be posting everyday, but I will try and post a couple of times this month. :)
