Why participate?
Feb. 1st, 2013 11:11 amI've had a few people comment that they would love to receive a letter from my challenge but not to bother because they wouldn't write back. That isn't required. Sure, I would love a reply but the point is for me to write letters and just writing them to myself wouldn't be nearly as much fun. Also, this is open to anyone in any location. So it's not too late to comment on the original post if you want in on the action.
But why do it? Why hand write letters to people who might not reply? There are many reasons but the main ones are I want to do something crafty and making mail art is the route I've chosen to go. I spend most of my day staring at a computer screen for my job and found I was spending my time at home doing the same thing. So my letter writing and mail art hobbies will all be manual. From the address book, to the letters, to me walking to the mail box to post them. I will ask for recipients and journal my progress online but that's it. We're going old school baby.
