It wasn't an obligation! It was something that was on my To Do list.... Especially since its the first one of my photos published anywhere!!
It was just the nudge I needed to actually sit down and get it done, instead of putting it off. I'm glad, too, as now I can truthfully say I've started my Christmas shopping! I'm a terrible procrastinator, so this makes me feel really good.
I'm sure a reminder message will be helpful for people like me!
