Even though the ship had email, he couldn't always get to a computer and loved being the guy with the most mail, so I kept it up! There was definitely something special about putting pen to paper and giving him my thoughts :)Diana Pazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368186068872293410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210458456325604680.post-23151522152479908622011-01-27T10:32:41.157-06:002011-01-27T10:32:41.157-06:00Letters!

So much fun to write and get!<br /><br />This reminds me of Carolyn See's challenge for writers to send out two "charming notes" a day to their favorite authors. <br /><br />The first one I sent was to my writing partner.Jennie Englundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943722538573178226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210458456325604680.post-31279042189853830362011-01-27T08:36:23.932-06:002011-01-27T08:36:23.932-06:00Tricia, yes something other than ads and bills is ...Tricia, yes something other than ads and bills is so exciting. I'm glad this made you smile. You certainly wouldn't be required to do it every week, just whenever you want to, I could link to your post.<br /><br />Joanne, yes I think it would be a good tool.

I could see this as a great tool as a writing exercise, too, in working on a manuscript.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210458456325604680.post-34728466566146313202011-01-26T21:35:14.845-06:002011-01-26T21:35:14.845-06:00What an amazing project!

I have a friend who occasionally sends me a newspaper clip or a note, and it's always so much fun to find something besides ads and bills in the mailbox.<br />I'm not sure if I could do it every week, but I can think of a list of people I'd love to surprise with a letter.<br />This makes me smile.Tricia J.

I thought of you decorating the envelopes, adding a personal touch, your art.

Such a good book. :)kahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789825860272178765noreply@blogger.com
