I was recently made award of a newish wri-mo event. Not NaNoWriMo this time. February is International Correspondence Writing Month or INCOWRIMO. So for the month of February, the idea is to write at least one letter, postcard, or other correspondence and mail it, each day. So now I am hooked! I will be writing letters and postcards and some valentine cards this month, every day. I have a list of people to write to but I haven’t counted them. If you would like to receive a piece of mail from me, let me know in the comments then I will email you for the address. Do not post your address here, please.
If you want more info on the month long event, click on the link above. All the info is there, including a place to enter your address if you want mail (please note that it is a public document so you might not want to post the address there) and there is also an address book with hundreds of people that would like mail if you want to participate. There are also a number of sites with videos and tutorials on good old fashioned letter writing. Check below for a couple of links. You might even get a pen pal out of this, if you wish to continue after February. Also, remember that you can write Valentine cards to people and that will count! Have fun with this! I challenge you!
So now, keep me honest. Bug me. Ask me if I am up to date with my letter writing this month!

If you are running out of people to write, let me know 🙂 I think you have my email already.

How’s the letter writing going? I know it’s early, but thought I’d ask. 🙂

I sent out my first two. I sent to Kim first because she’s in Australia and it takes a little over two weeks to get it there. And I made a list of all the others for the month. I’ll have extras because I’m mailing valentine cards and birthday cards to the grandkiddos so I’ll end up with about 35 or more. Let me know if you need addresses or check out the link above for the address book.

I sent my second out to Kim for the same reason. I think I’m good for addresses and, like you, I’ll probably end up sending more because of Valentine’s Day (same reason — grandkids).
