InCoWriMo 2019

I discovered InCoWriMo (short for International Correspondence Writing Month) last year, long after the event was over. But I was determined to participate this year!

According to the InCoWriMo website:

The idea is to send a handwritten letter, card or note to someone every day for the month of February. It doesn’t have to be a novel or even news, it’s entirely up to you what you write.

I had to play catch-up a little this week, but I’m finally up to date.

I get so excited to open my mailbox and find something other than bills and junk mail. A couple of the letters have come with surprises – a bookmark, confetti, stickers. One came with a postcard from the letter writer’s area.

There’s just something so precious about writing and receiving letters. It makes me miss the weekly letters my grandma used to write us. She’s been gone almost two years now. I wish I had saved more of her letters. They weren’t long, but it gave us a glimpse into her life.

I highly recommend InCoWriMo for anybody who might be considering it. And you can write to anyone — family, friends, co-workers, soldiers, and more. There’s an address book of people who’ve signed up on the website.

Happy February!
