This is reposted from a posting made by fly, a Tennessee WriMo looking for a challenge. I'm certainly going to be sending a postcard...

So yeah. I'm totally trying to figure out how to challenge myself this year, and I've come up with a plan that can help me.
And, who knows.. Anyone with a sadistic WriMo region can really do me damage.

I collect postcards because I think it's cool to see other places.
And I've been thinking of an idea that's postcard centered, and then this kinda came to me.

Here's what I want.
On the back of the postcard, instead of a note to me, I want a small character profile.
Character Name:
Age:
And a couple small traits.

Basically, I want to know *who* would send this postcard.

The post card *HAS* to be a location. None of the crap that shows a hillbilly and says Alabama in the corner.
A town, a landscape, a museum, etc is perfectly fine. :)
Basically, the postcard has to show SOMEWHERE so I can write about it.

So I already said I would write more words than I had miles on my car (which is already 66k and I'm sure will be more like 70 by the end of NaNo)... This is how your region gets to screw me.. In addition to my 66k and counting, I will write 500 words about each postcard I get.

Yeah, so if I get 100 postcards.....

I'm totally up for this, and I want you guys to get the word out to all your NaNo people.
This is especially good for NaNo regions where I have dropped, thrown, or flung gauntlets. Go ahead, try to overwhelm me. I dare you.

And, since you'll need to know where to send them:

fly/Mandi M. Lynch
1008 Jacksons Valley Rd
Hermitage, TN 37076
USA

(And I don't care who has my address, so feel free to give it out to anyone who's willing to send me a postcard. )

I'm excited about this idea, but I seriously need your help to do it.

(And bonus points if you're from Nunuvut, Isle of Man, or Tasmania.... )
