| so much thanks! |

Five years ago I had just arrived in Baton Rouge from New Orleans. I was eighty miles away and a 31 year year old freshman in college at a big ol'state university. I missed my friends. I wanted to do well in school, and moreso, I wanted to use all the great stuff at my disposal. But how would I find time to write to all the people I loved most?

| the first moht of keep writing! and still one of my favorites |
And so I started Keep Writing. Maybe you know this story. I sent out a postcard to fifty friends, to see if anyone was interested. The first months included a few creative ways of making postcards without letterpress or silkscreen--lots of sewing, color copies and handcarved stamps. Luckily I got a key to the letterpress studio soon after the 4th month.

| keep writing number 56! |
This month marks five years of sending a monthly postcard to friends and strangers who have asked for it. The past 2 1/2 years have included an interactive portion where you get to send something back to me. Like the month I gave you a
Venn Diagram to fill out and send back. It's been super fun, a monthly challenge and full of surprises. So, to thank you, you can renew your subscription (or sign up!) for the month of November for whatever you can afford from $5 to $30 (the regular price is $30 for a year). Email your payment through paypal to gutwrenchhope@gmail.com . Don't forget to include your mailing address! Thanks y'all! Now if I can get 800 more subscribers, I can quit my day jobs and spent all my time making mail!
