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
On Friday the 20th, one letter written for international delivery to the UK, and none received.
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! :-)
Finally back in the land of the living and have written 3 letters today. Hoping to get a couple more done this evening. Promise not to sneeze on any of them!
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!

I'm almost caught up on replies so may look for a new victim or two!
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.
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.
This perhaps?
