Description:

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Week 1 ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
These prompts are taken from the public daily swaps I am hosting. (Check them out if you need more letter writing excuses!) Choose one and write to your partner.

  • April 1. Introductions. Write about your letter writing history, pen pal experiences, or current letter writing habits. (If you are already pen-pals with your partner, rather than being redundant, you might instead write about your letter writing goals for the month, or just catch up from recent correspondence.)
  • April 2 is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. Is your preferred PB&J less traditional? Does your PB&J involve a different bread, a distinctive jam, specific assembly instructions? How DO you prefer to cut your sandwich? Or must you avoid peanuts? Would you rather write about a different sandwich? Or sandwich experience? Do you have a sandwich story or joke to share? Bring it on!
  • April 3. April is Poetry Month. Share a poem and why you like it.
  • April 4 is Walk Around Things Day. Be literal or figurative. What do you walk around? In life, in your head?
  • April 5 celebrates dandelions. Are dandelions weeds or wishes or wine? Tell your partner how you feel about dandelions and why or share a story from your life regarding dandelions.
  • April 6. What’s on deck for the week? What are you looking forward to this week? Do you have a to do list? What's on it?

    April Is National Letter Writing Month ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆☆

Because Letter Writing = Snail-Mail = Happiness! It’s fun to have a challenge and a reason to write, isn’t it? Even if [the Write-On campaign/challenge]((http://www.writeoncampaign.com/about/) seems to have fizzled, I still write a letter every day in April.

Easy peasy:
1. Send a letter to your partner following one of the prompts for the week. It should be chatty enough to give a feel for the prompt, but not so lengthy that you feel a slave to it.
2. Put something on the envelope to distinguish it from a bill--a sticker or a doodle, and include your user name and the swap name. Tuck in a little letter writing themed somethin’, somethin’.
3. Give the best of your time to the content of the letter itself.

All Group Rules Apply. Send on time, communicate, rate promptly. Sign onto swap-bot at least two days before the sign up deadline so I know you’re serious about your participation.
