Could you write a letter, it’s February? Or, as I’ve learned to call it InCoWriMo. The challenge is to handwrite (in ink) a letter every day during February and mail it: no email, no text message, just old-school pen on paper.
Are you curious as to what to include in your letter? Then, check out these prompts by one of my favorite vendors, Goulet Pens. Feel free to check them out and drop them a letter. Rachel and Brian would love to hear from you!
What do you need to write a letter? It’s simple. Grab a pen and some paper and start writing. Please put it in an envelope, seal it, add a stamp, and mail it. (You can order stamps online, you know!)
If you need some ideas for writing topics, here are a few prompts to get started. I typically write about what I like to do for fun, my work, and my awesome cat.
- Your career
- Your school experience
- How you spend your free time
- What makes you the happiest?
- Have you been on any adventures?
- First responders
- The family you seldom see
- School friends that you haven’t chatted with in a while
- Neighbors
If you don’t get 29 letters written and mailed this month, it’s ok! The important thing is to take some time away from the digital world and put your thoughts on paper. If you can’t find a correspondent, drop me a note with your address, and I’ll try to add you to my list!
