Leaving a paper trail: accepting the letter-a-day challenge

If you haven't already heard, today kicks off Mary Robinette Kowal's A Month of Letters Challenge, in which participants like yours truly vow to post a letter, postcard, or mysterious scrap of ephemera every mail-serviceable day for the month of February. You can check out the challenge's very own website for the FAQ, forum, Twitter info, and a handy printable calendar to keep better track of your mailing list.
This is especially exciting for me, as I still have gads of stationery that I brought over from Korea and have been itching for an excuse to use, not to mention my most recent fancy of craftsiness, for which I've been abusing paper products in a series of well-intended attempts at card making.
In need of inspiration? Take a gander at Letters of Note for examples and transcripts of real letters from famous folks, including my favorite.
Other Resources:
- The Letter Writers Alliance
- The Missive Maven
- Zazzle (to create your own personalized postage)
Happy scribbling!
