The unwritten “reality” of letter writing

You may wonder why I have chosen this title of this post. Well from my experience is that it is really hard to putfeeling into words about what letter writing means to me. Letter writing is becominglost art on many levels. It is fading intobackground of society. It is still practised by many people. It is those people that I am looking to connect with. I have been told by many people whom have read my posts that they feelsame way about letter writing as I do. I want to hear from those people what they feel; I want to hear their words.

I think that it is so important that we embracethings that we are passionate about. In this case, I want people from all walks of life, all overworld. Putpen to paper that is letter writing; pen pals, snail mail whatever it is you call it and tell your story about what writing and receiving actual physical mail inmail box means to you.

For me I lovewhole process from finding kwel and interesting stationary, note cards, ticklopes (they are so cute) to stickers, to colour full envelopes to tuckins to put inenvelopes. For me it is to make others happy to seeletter to them in their box.

I want to hear from you yes youone reading this post. I know you love to getletter addressed to you? Who doesn’t? Is there some that you have kept? If so? Why? When? How? Yes I want allfive W’s answered. The reason is I think that it is important to have book that expresses just how important this art of letter writing is to our society. I have heard frompublisher that they are interested. Now I just have to createmasterpiece calledunwritten “reality” oflost art of letterwriting.

Help me help shinelight on this amazing gift so that it doesn’t disappear fromfuture. If you want more info please feel free to contact me. I have more to share as always. If you can think of other places to post or spreadword please do. This is dedicated to you. I would appreciate any help in gettingword out. I don’t think that I could do this book justice with out having fellow letter writers sharing their experiences aboutpassion of this amazing hobby.
