    I am having a slow day so whether I will catch the last post is unlikely, but I will get round to writing at least one letter. I am having a tidy up though of my computer and writing desks....

    One in today! So excited. Not an FPGeeks person, but a new pen pal. I'm going to write at least one tonight to drop in tomorrow's mail.

    One letter finished (except for the envelope), but I'll probably post on Monday as it might rain in the morning and I don't like posting stuff outside in the rain

    1 in today (thanks @sgtstretch!) my first from someone new. The first week I mailed to people I already know and received 1 postal letter, 1 email, and 1 long-distance phone call in replly. Not bad, considering none of them were participating in InCoWriMo.

    I've sent 20, and today's the 21st day. Now I'm starting to enjoy writing to unmet friends, so I think I will write multiple per day. I'm hoping this leads to a good habit of corresponding with people via "vintage social media" - gotta love that expression on the InCoWriMo site!! And since Cincinnati has morphed into the frozen tundra of my youth (Wisconsin) there's plenty of indoor time to be filled with musings, writings, and hot tea.

    20 in for the week, I about fainted when 8 were in the box today. 8 have been done so far today for outgoing on Monday. 20 in a week is a record for me in 3 InCoWriMo years. Every single letter gets a reply! :-)

    Managed to get 7 written today! Only 3 left in the to reply to pile now. Feels good to be caught up, and I'm down to my last sleeve of stamps so I've just handed over £45 to Royal Mail for some more.

    Speaking of international stamps--the US Global stamp is going up in price sometime in April, according to my postmistress. Stock up!

    Impressive, well done.

    For myself after a very busy weekend ( )I've only got one heavyweight one going to Germany, £2.35 as it's close to 100g, hope to get back on track today...

    I have kept a steady one in and one out til yesterday with a small thank you card to someone. Which brings my total up to 43 letters out. I'll have to recount my stack of the ones I have received. Sadly no one new yet. Hopefully I will write tomorrow. I have a bit of a nervous day tomorrow.

    Tempted to, but depending on the price increase I might just pick up the new $1 wave stamps and whatever additional postage I need to send a letter out, assuming it's not four or five stamps to get there.

    From the USPS itself: http://about.usps.com/news/national-...5/pr15_004.htm

    No change to Forever 1-oz stamps.
    Additional ounces from 21 cents to 22 cents
    First class international (1-oz) goes from $1.15 to $1.20
    Domestic postcards go from 34 cents to 35 cents

    These increases are not approved as of yet; looks like April 26th is the target date.

    Two written today, and one in. Two left in the reply pile, though one isn't an incowrimo one, and will acquire some additions.

    What is "the new $1 wave stamps", please?
