A month of letters

Last year I found out about the Month of Letters too late to feel like I could accomplish the challenge issued by Mary Robinette Kowal of sending as many letters as there were mailing days in February. I did take the opportunity to write to her as a fan of her Glamourist Histories series.

I had completely forgotten about the challenge until last Thursday when I saw a blog post related to it. A little late, but it is a great excuse to write letters. The Month of Letters website contains numerous participants sharing their mailing addresses to gain pen pals to write to and keeps track of their accomplishments throughout the month. I particularly love the achievement challenges.

In the last two days, I've sent 10 letters and one package. This includes a letter to a newly diagnosed cancer patient via Girls Love Mail. I also sent a letter and some coffee to the Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 74 out of Gulport Mississippi. I've sent letters to relatives and to random people on the lettermo website.

I love writing letters, but even more I love receiving them. So let's hope I get a replies.
