Taking this online writing class has already had a ton of benefits. The original cost wasn't atrocious and it's already paid for itself. And now, it's even saved me money.
Whenever I get a pre-written card, I always feel like I want to add something more. I love the funny and sometimes sappy cards, but I always want to personalize it. Just writing my name seems like wasted effort and money.
The instructor mentioned finding ways to exercise your writing. One way was to buy blank greeting cards and write your own inscription. Make it a poem or your own thoughts about the person. Whatever you want. So deceptively simple!
So I bought the 5 blank 99-cent cards (4 birthdays and 1 sympathy) and will personalize my wish for each person and circumstance. They'll never know they were 99-cents because I will have added value by making them customized in "business speak." LOL
Instead I splurged on the Easter cards. :)
