I was happy to come home from a long trip and find an old-school, hand written letter waiting for me. It's a really cool thing to have a pen-pal, I'm excited to write back to him. By now every should have received one, right?
Hope it's going well. Once again, great idea BLOB_CASTLE.
I have been completely swamped with work but I received my letter from insomniasexx which was really nice.
Yay! I had no idea if I put enough stamps on the beast. I just loaded it up and dropped it in the mail and hoped for the best. :P
I picture you cooking with a wok and it exploding in your face.
I sent mine a while ago to hugitout. I'm not sure how long it would take to get to Canada, but I would hope it's made it. No problem! I'm glad to see that it's been working out for most.
My advice, don't over-think it. Even a post card to begin will do well to get the ball rolling. I didn't write much to begin with, but as we get to know one another I am confident I will have more to say. Good luck and have fun!
Yep, doesn't have to be perfect, just put the pen against paper and move it around, and once it's done stick it in a mailbox. I'm treating it like a writing assignment and sending out one a month regardless of whether I get replies or not, since regularity is good for me. Second batch is on its way!
One a month seems a reasonable expectation to me.
I received AnSionnachRua's and plan to send a reply soon.
It looks like you were paired with silenti_etc and from his comment I gather he is in New Zealand. It could be that his letter is taking longer than others because of location? Bummer.
That's a bummer. You want to be postcard-pals with me? I already have a pen-pal, but a postcard pal would be cool too. We could send each other a postcard each month from somewhere, outside of the town where we live. (in boring months it could literally be the neighboring town). What say you?
