February is here, folks. February is a BIG month in our letter-loving world. There's ye olde tradition of sending Valentines, but we've also got International Correspondence Writing Month (InCoWriMo for the hip-and-with-it crowd) and Month of Letters! Both websites operate on the same basic principle- send one letter every day* in the month of February. (*Or every weekday) Respond to all the letters you receive. Talk amongst yourselves about the sending of mail through their forums and gain a bunch of Internet points and prizes. It's a great month to be a letter writer! How are you guys preparing for these challenges? Is it even a challenge for you? Are you a participant in either group? In both?
Month of Letters seems to be a dead link. At least I get an error-message.
I already stocked up on stamps and got my fountian pens ready.

I. am. READY! I'm hoping that the daily practice during February will bleed into the rest of the year as a habit :)

I'm participating with InCoWriMo. It will be a great month to catch up on letter writing after taking a brief hiatus during the holidays. There is just something inherently therapeutic about letter writing!

I agree with Reg; I hope this leads to a regular year-long habit! :)

I'm participating in Month of Letters, which will include one international letter. Love putting smiles in mailboxes!

I'm doing A Month of Letters/LetterMo! This is my third year, and I really enjoy it! To prepare I get stationary, stamps, addresses, etc together-details here: http://scribblingsarah.blogspot.com/2015/01/final-preparations-for-lettermo.html

I'm participating in both, but mostly in the background. I can get too sucked into fora conversations about letter writing and never get letters written!
