Challenge - The Month of Letters


The Month of Letters Challenge
February 2012
hosted by Mary Robinette Kowal
I have a simple challenge for you.
1. In the month of February, mail at least one item through the post every day it runs. Write a postcard, a letter, send a picture, or a cutting from a newspaper, or a fabric swatch.

2. Write back to everyone who writes to you. This can count as one of your mailed items.

All you are committing to is to mail 24 items. Why 24? There are four Sundays and one US holiday. In fact, you might send more than 24 items. You might develop a correspondence that extends beyond the month. You might enjoy going to the mail box again.

Feeling intimidated? It’s fewer words than NaNoWriMo and I know how many of you do that. Join me in The Month of Letters Challenge.



Snail mail! I found this on Cindy's Love of Books. I'll be away from the post office for a week during February but I still think this is fabulous! I have a couple of aunts and a SIL plus some out of town friends that deserve a letter. Send me your address (bookdragonslair at gmail dot com) if you want a post card!
