I’m really enjoying InCoWriMo – the gift that goes on giving!
As well as enjoying the exchanges, it’s thrown me into problem solving mode. Specifically, how to keep track of addresses, letters in and out, inks and papers used, etc.
This didn’t fit into my current contacts database. It’s not like me to be this anal, but I felt the need to do it properly. So I went looking.
I found a free program called E-Z Contact Book. It seems to be working for me for all my InCoWriMo and InCo Pen Pals addresses.
It has a notes section for each contact where I can track dates of letters in and out as well as inks/papers used.
I can create various groups to suit, including one called “For Reply” so no-one gets forgotten.
But I’m interested in what others do.
Do you track this sort of stuff?
If so, how? Electronically? A physical letter filing system? By memory?
Do you just wing it? Are you a glutton for surprise and the unexpected?
Also, how do you keep track of what’s been said, especially with lots of people on your list?
I’m new to this and it’s easy for me at the moment. But I worry that down the track I’m just going to get repetitive and boring.
Well, maybe I am already! In which case, I promise to get better.
I’d love to hear how you manage this sort of thing. Or not!
