Join Us For The Letter Writing Challenge

Join Us For The Letter Writing Challenge

Posted on by Tessa Adams

Remember the days of receiving mail that wasn’t an ad or a bill? I distinctly remember running to the mailbox and feeling goosebumps each time I received a letter from someone who took the time to sit down and write one. There is something beautiful about a handwritten note meant just for me. November is a month of possibilities. I try to look at each month of cold as a challenge. What can I do that brings the warmth in my soul? What can I do that could excite someone else? Thinking about the answers to these questions is way more fun than thinking about how cold it’s getting outside. On this day of excellence, my gift to you is a letter-writing challenge.

Today, we are gifted with an extra hour of downtime. An extra hour where there are no expectations and no responsibilities. This is the perfect day to try this challenge. This week, challenge yourself to write two-three handwritten letters to your loved ones and mail them in the actual mail. There is research surrounding how this act of love strengthens relationships and heals them if they are strained. Handwritten letters require your undivided attention; they are timeless, and they are sacred.

This week where we are gifted an extra hour, why not use it to spread love and gratitude with a letter? Want more writing assignments? Order my prompt book on Amazon and get writing!

Old, New, Borrowed, Blue Writing Topics

The other day I sat down to write, and the blank page taunted me. My mind was as blank as my journal, and I closed my book without completing the 30 minutes of writing I planned that day. I usually don’t let writer’s block win, but this day, it certainly did. Recently, I’ve been trying to think of categories for my writing that are broad enough to allow flexibility, but narrow enough to give me some limitations. I collected these categories to use for the week ahead. This week’s? Well, my journal categories came from the old adage: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” While it’s normally attached to a wedding day, it works perfectly for writing. Here are some ideas for these.

Share with us what you decided to do with these prompts. Happy writing!
