First year of mine to participate in mail a letter of this month sending one to Africa it time to Africa.
I love LetterMo. I think I spotted a Postcrossing blog post about it in 2012… and I jumped straight in.
I do mostly letters for it, though today I posted a postcard as I wanted to let someone know about an alternative Wordle (my penpal wrote and mentioned a Welsh one, but I found another Welsh Wordle, this time with the proper Welsh letters as LL is just one letter…).
This is my 2nd day.
I sent a postcard to Brazil (LetterMo friend), envelopes with postcards to Canada, Germany and UK (Round Robin) and a birthday postcard goes to a friend living in south of France.
On the second day of LetterMo, I have written a letter for The Random Letter Project. Every month, you send a letter and receive someone else’s letter back.
Such an inspirational project and a very therapeutic writing experience!
As a daily Wordle wordie, I am intrigued at learning that there’s a Welsh version. Did you know that the New York Times has bought Wordle. Hope it remains free!
MoL Postcrossing Feature: A lot of excitement is taking place at the Twosday 22/2/22 topic. Check it out!
A penpal notified me of the one that looks like Wordle - Wordle Cymraeg - Gêm eiriau dyddiol but then I went to mention it on a Welsh learner facebook group - there, I found another one hir-iaith // yr hyb Cymraeg which is more proper Welsh. The Welsh alphabet has double letters, e.g. LL (as in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll…) and this is a single letter. There are others, and the Welshier version takes these into account. Also accents, some letters have a little ^ on.
So, it was the Welshier version I wanted to let my penpal know about, sending it by postcard!
I love this! The Welshier version!!
I love Wordle too. But I’m quite nervous about it having been sold. Pay to use seems like it won’t be far away .
Did you see Samuel West’s tweet about Ulysses? He was defeated by the paper form, but listened to the audiobook.
I love this idea! I asked my Facebook friends if anyone wanted a letter from me. I’m set for a week!
It’s so nice to know that a lot of us have jumped in to this month long letter writing! I’m a newbie and this is my first year participating in InCoWriMo, another platform which is similar to LetterMo. I just dropped my 3rd snail mail in the post box before I went to work. So far, I already sent to The Netherlands, Canada and Spain and I hope that they will receive my letters the soonest. I guess I will send more than what is minimum of this challenge because I’m kind of participating in the lotteries here. Hopefully I’ll be able to write at least one and post one a day for the whole month. All the best everyone and happy snail mailing!
