I'm catching up with my delinquent letters right now, so I can start February with a clean slate. I tend to get my postings out in groups instead of one a day, but I have gotten them all out each for eh past three years. I plan to try again this year.

I plan on participating again. This will be either year 3 or year 4 for me. (I don't recall if 2013 or 2014 was the first year I participated)

 

PM me for address.

I will be participating - my third year!

 

My little wish for this year is to see more local people join in InCoWriMo!

 

Keep writing and enjoy.

A sincere man am I
From the land where palm trees grow,
And I want before I die
My soul's verses to bestow.
 
All those moments will be lost in time.
Like tears in rain.
Time to die.

I think I will be giving Incowrimo a go this year. It will be my first attempt: slightly apprehensive, but I think that it will be good fun!

This sounds like fun. I have participated in Nanowrimo many times, but this is the first time I have heard of Incowrimo.

I'll join in this year also. This will be my first time and, to be honest, I'm a bit aprehensive about it since I'm not a wordy person. Writing letters comes pretty hard to me.

The similar project, LetterMo has been updated with a forum for 2016. The project has been running for a year longer than InCoWriMo.

I'll be participating. I have a stack of letters and Christmas cards I need to respond to. I think I'll get my list together now with names and addresses so I'll be ready. I'm printing out more of my stationery right now. I am only printing 60 pages. I may need some more paper, and envelopes.

 

I'm looking forward to it! It's my first year.

Postcards count, you know. Not all mail has to be wordy!

Well, i just broke down and signed up for LetterMo. It's not like I have do double the writing, see?

 

I was commenting to my husband last night about how long it takes me to write a letter, especially if I am watching TV at the same time. He responded that I write really long letters, and if I wrote shorter ones I could get twice as many done. He is correct, of course; most of my letters are two pages long, front and back, regardless of whether I am using standard stationery or 8.5 x 11 inch paper. DUH on me! [i should note that I was surprised that he had even noticed how long my letters are - I have never said a word to him about it, and didn't know he was watching.]

      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
