☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ALL ABOUT THIS “APRIL IS NATIONAL LETTER WRITING MONTH” SERIES ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

April is National Letter Writing Month! Even if the Write-On campaign/challenge seems to have fizzled, I still write a letter every day in April. While this is not recognized as an international observation, this series of swaps will be international. Because Letter Writing = Snail-Mail = Happiness! It’s fun to have a challenge and a reason to write, isn’t it? In the spirit of the challenge, I encourage participants to write a letter everyday, without stockpiling letters to mail at a future date, but I’m not going to police it.

Easy peasy:

  1. Send a letter to your partner following the prompt for the day. It should be chatty enough to give a feel for the prompt, but not so lengthy that you feel a slave to it.
  2. On Sundays, we decorate the envelope. Whatever is your thing-stickers, washi, doodles, collage... (Give the post clerks some eye candy!)
  3. Give the best of your time to the content of the letter itself.

This is a public swap, so a bit of housekeeping: Recent blips in your ratings, fewer than 10 rated swaps, recent lengthy absences from swap-bot require communication. If you have unresolved ones, have flaked on a swap I’ve hosted, or if I've angeled a swap you flaked on YOU must message ME to explain. Sign onto swap-bot at least two days before the sign up deadline so I know you're still serious about your participation. PLAY NICE. I will angel, but don't make it necessary. If you run into a problem, contact me.
