Julie R. Neidlinger: Lone Prairie Art and Writing

Fanmail: Slow but not forgotten.

Every so often I get a response from what I will tentatively call "fans" of this website. I'm always thrilled to get real mail, and so I like to put some cool stuff together.

A recent letter - well, that's the problem. It wasn't so recent. It came during the middle of my latest adventure in earning money and so I was already behind the eightball in replying. Then, mix that in with my procrastination abilities...I bet the man who sent the letter thought I forgot.

I didn't.

He should be getting a little something in the mail sometime this week. He'd sent me an SASE, and a little note with a blank index card, saying he was curious with what I could come up with on the card. I thought the approach was unique.

The image you see here is what I created.

He also wondered if I had any bookplates lying around which, of course, I did.

I hope the wait was worthwhile. I threw a few other extras into the return letter out of a wee bit of guilt and also because I have lots of odd art and things I've made lying around.

I might as well spred the love, don't you think? So if you're a "fan", you know what to do: send a request, and then have lots of patience. I'll respond. Eventually.
