I did it last year, too. Don't think I managed 28 letters, nor did they go out daily, but I did a pretty good job. I think I'll try it again. Gotta use up all that ink somehow, right?

I had a go at this last year - can't recall whether it was this one or LetterMo - and nearly made the monthly count. I'm aiming for it this time!

Why wait for a specific month? When ever a letter arrives in the mail box it is letter writing day. The more letters, the more letter writing days.

Please call me Nathan. It is a pleasure to meet you.

I am in, Just put my 3rd letter in the mail box. What a great way to use my pens and :wub: get to know people in the community.

 

How can I get me one of those icons that says letter exchange participant?

Edited by sandraw

So many pens. So little time.

I'm in, so long as one can make up for a letterless day by sending two the next.

Thus far, in addition to penpals, victims recipients include one of my favourite ballet dancers (first piece of fanmail I've sent since I wrote to QB Joe Montana when I was 10. He replied with a signed card, too !) as well as the lady who serves me my coffee each morning - she goes off on pregnancy leave at the end of the week, and I've a card for her.

Ugh. I was planning to participate, but my neighbor's drunk son-in-law decided that my mailbox looked better on the ground than on the post. Unfortunately, he shattered the post when he hit it, and it'll be probably next weekend before we can get a new mailbox put up. And my time is so booked this week, I can't spare the time to detour to the post office. :(

Well, seven days, seven letters. I won't speak of momentum in such a massless undertaking, but 25% done without a stumble is quite encouraging.

Oh, good heavens. He's got a blog now, too.

So far, 7 letters in 7 days. This is a great discipline, though why would I use that word for something I love to do? I guess it gives me the excuse to sit down on a busy day!

Eight days into the month.

 

I was thinking it may be too late to put my hat in the ring except that, already this month, I have hand written two letters to my daughter (away at college), a letter to each of my U.S. Senators, and a letter to my aunt. I could easily be "caught up" after this weekend.

 

I'm in!

When I visit the Post office tomorrow, I will be "caught up." This IS fun.

I'm afraid I haven't been able to send out a letter each day, but I plan on writing enough letters over the next three or four weeks to make up for my slow progress.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
