    I tried to find local calligraphy classes but failed miserably. We even have an art college here locally. Apparently calligraphy isn't art LOL.

    Nine going out this morning. 45 in 9 days and now beginning to include replies to initial letters as well as letters to new people

    Ooh! What'cha get? I have to know if I need to step up my game.

    I'm also eager to know if one of my other InConWriMo correspondents was freaked out or pleased with the Cthulhu-y tuck in that I sent.

    Two out today, one to Australia and one to the Philippines. Have sent seven out so far this month, but I will make up the slack with Valentine cards going out this week. Since January, I've sent out almost 20, but those don't count

    I had fourteen outbound this morning - three were Valentine's cards (no letters inside) and three international ones - one to Thailand, one to Israel, one to Australia. So far, one reply.

    I spoke with my mom last night and told her how much fun I was having with this project and she said, "Don't write me a letter, because you know I won't write back, and that would be too much pressure! I'd rather talk instead." I told her that was unfair, as she made me sit at the table for all those summers as a kid practicing cursive handwriting, telling me that it would come in handy someday...

    Someone whose posts I consider to be splendidly awesome sent me a PM over the weekend and asked to correspond. I almost fell off my chair! I'm excited to go home and write that letter tonight.
    Write buzzed. Edit sober.

    Three out today, none in. One of the three was a Valentine's week poem for my wife, The Princess. The others were a domestic & an overseas. The domestic was a "Thank You" to Goulet pens for their patient customer service/orders girl who helped me decide on my Noodler's Konrad Ebonite.

    Two letters out today. A whole bunch to reply to. I don't know how many but my usual letter carrying notebook is WAY overstuffed.
