Dear Readers of Cupcakes and Mace

Using my finely tuned powers of figuring stuff out I realised that this style of blogging wasn’t working for me any more. With only a handful of posts published in 2010 it’s a far cry from the days of 2009 when I’d stay up till 4 in the morning getting orders packed and making sure I had written something for the blog.

These days all my time is spent eating food and, yeah, eating food. Oh and hanging out with that guy I like. So with an abundance of time and still nothing productive going on I realised it was time to stop being such a lazy bitch and fix it. I signed up to a couple of temping agencies and got a job for the month of August (yay me) in order to pay back some of the money I borrowed from my savings. I finally got around to getting my awesome flatmate to help me with a new logo/blog header/business cards. I started cooking real food instead of eating from a packet. And I finally arranged to see Mum after 8 months of not seeing her.

None of that fixed the lack of writing going on though. And my exceptionally boring temping job seems to be leaving me with more down time than up time. Fellow blogger/friend/super organised woman that seems to have actual discipline over herself and manages to actually work for and achieve her goals Kelly, suggested we meet to discuss bloggy plans and I’m quite happy for any excuse to meet in a cafe so we met this afternoon. I needed something that would be easy, that would allow me to write about whatever I wanted but having something quirky and structured about it. Ideally a barrage of wit and sarcasm would flow out of me like bloggers I’ve already mentioned numerous times on Cupcakes and Mace, but I’m just not great at writing like that. And then I realised the simple solution is to write here the way I write in my head. In letter form.

When I’m frustrated with someone I write them a letter telling them why they’re a dick and then I hide it. When I’m in love with something I tweet. Now whenever I have an opinion on anything I’ll be sending you a letter to tell you all about it.

Be prepared.

    Good to see you’re back! I’m really looking forward to your new project, it sounds perfect! I am a letter-writer, too – whenever there is something important happening in my life, I write a letter to the person that has to do with it.

    I’m looking forward to your new format (however, I hope you do not only post when you’re angry with someone!). *lol*

    All the best,
    Sabrina
