I spent some time this weekend sorting out old journals and a memory box, including some old fashioned paper letters. Some of them are over forty years old. I didn’t dig into the memories and read the letters, but they are there waiting for me when I want to read them.
When did you last write a letter? or receive one?
Head over to Love Letter here on Substack to read Karin Schimke’s Love Letters and subscribe to receive a free monthly letter in your inbox.
Who do you want to write a letter to? and what do you want to say? Are you angry about something? or happy? Is there news that you want to share? or do you just want to tell someone about your day?
Set your timer for ten minutes.
Start with Dear….. and write!
If you are writing fiction, write a letter for one of your characters. She or he may even want to send it. What will the recipient do with the news they receive?
