Iron Epistle
Jul. 1st, 2008 03:37 pmI like writing letters and would like more practice. Specifically I would like to practice writing with a bit of flair. So I am starting Iron Epistle. A challenge to write a letter each week. To keep things orderly, and we all know that I like things orderly, here are the rules:
- Leave a comment below requesting a letter. Please include your address and name if you don’t think I know them. (Comments are screened for privacy.)
- You may suggest a subject but I make no promises to listen. If we know each other I’ll will probably write a personal letter to you. If I don’t know you well I’ll write about a thought or some interest listed in your LJ profile.
- There is no geographical restriction on entries. I’ll accept entries from anywhere although interplanetary mail might take longer to arrive.
- I will select an entry at random each week and send them a hand written letter.
- You only need to acknowledge receipt of my letter. I welcome any feedback on the content. Bonus points for returning the letter.
- You are free to share the contents of the letter as you see fit. I won’t be posting any of them.
So there it is. To end here is a fortune I received at lunch last week:
You have a charming way with words. Write a letter this week.
