Business Cards

I just ordered 250 business cards for myself... that only contain my name, email and phone number. I thought about adding a title, but I couldn't really think of a good one. I still don't really consider myself to be a "writer," even though I have a journalism degree and lots of published stories online... I guess I always thought of a writer as someone more accomplished. They will look plain, but at least I'll be able to exchange business cards when I meet someone at a networking event or happy hour... I hate telling people that I don't have a business card. Problem solved.

I also wanted to order monogrammed stationary for myself, but I didn't want to put my return address on the envelope because A) I'm living with my parents, and B) in case I decide to move. So then it didn't really seem worth it. Plus, I wonder if handwritten notes will be around next year. What spurred this is writing a thank-you note after an interview and realized that my stationary was boring. I also emailed the HR manager the day after we met because I was paranoid that she would notice if she didn't get one. But now she probably thinks I'm overeager. Life after college is much more complicated.
