It's me! In the newspapers!

There's an article about my letter experiment in The Independent today. Oh my. I am apparently "writer Deirdre Ruane", or just "Ruane", which is very weird.

Go read it, and then go to postwodehouse.com, which is the website I've been asking for help with this week. And for pity's sake, if you participated (or even if you didn't) and you can think of something to say, post something on the message board! It's got tumbleweeds blowing through it.

Thank you again to everyone who joined in - I've still got letters to go out to some of you! - and everyone who helped me test the site. And to [livejournal.com profile] rhodri, who did a great job.

I'm in the paper. Holy cow.

Congratulations on the article!

Still no sign of that letter here in Tokyo... now makes me discount even the slight chance that it followed one of my other letters to Sweden and then by boat to Yokohama (taking 12 weeks in the process).

That's your letter in the picture on the main page, by the way!

So it is! I can just make out the form of my address - but nice job with the blur tool.

It was just blown up from a scan and the letter wasn't the point of focus anyway - but I wouldn't have let it go with a legible address... ;-)

I didn't actually have to blur it at all, but I did zoom in to make sure it wasn't legible.
