InCoWriMo

There is a group of people who will be exchanging mail in February. It is the InCoWriMo, aka the International Correspondence Writing Month group. It exists to “Challenges you to hand-write and mail/deliver one letter, card, note or postcard every day during the month of February.” This has been going on since 2014. (? about seven years now) You can miss a day, just write two the next. You do not need to write to a different person each day. It must be hand-written. Though I expect there are people who will typewrite them. A fun part for me is to write to people I do not know. And for that, they have a web page where people can list their address. As I have done. I also went through all of them and found there are about 90+ people who do not live in the USA. And, there are people in every continent of the world. Of them, 26 indicate they will reply or respond to every letter they receive. There are, as you might expect, several people who are doing this for the first time. Me included. At least one who has been there since the group was started. There is a nurse who will not be doing it again this year because of the Covid weight on her time and energy. Some people are submitting their Instagram addresses as part of their introductions. 28 letters or cards starting in a week or so. I must admit it is a lot of writing to do. Hmmm, kinda like this.
