I just received a lot of things on February the 4th, does this mean I will need to send a lot of replies as well if I want to do this challenge?

It’s up to you! It is officially stated as part of the challenge, to reply to everyone who writes to you. But I’ve personally never held myself to that part of the challenge, and if you don’t want to you’re not obligated to. Just do what you can/what will make it fun and rewarding for you

@Mirella673, my approach is to set the goal of sending out one piece of mail per day (card or letter). In this way I am the giver of happy mail to 28 people. That’s my commitment to this project.
If I accept a swap with someone during MoL, that can be part of my 28-day personal goal; more often, though, that is extra.
If I get mail from someone unexpectedly, they are not part of my goal. I might actually wait until the end of the month / early March to write back in the event I don’t have time in February.
Overall, the goal is to have some fun, do as you can, feel good about what you can do.
Do not put pressure on yourself. Do not set hard rules that make it feel like a drudge.
Really … just have fun!
And try to send a couple of pieces of mail that you wouldn’t otherwise send.
Note: I’ve noticed in past years of MoL that it is not unusual to peter out at the end of the month. Again … don’t fret about rules; set your own expectations and accept your own limitations. Just have fun.

Post deleted by author… Too late for this year 
@Dr-K Not at all! You can jump in at any time. No need to fret about the calendar dates. Participate at your own pace, when you can. It can be for just a few days or for a couple of weeks. Or, really, you can start today and go until March 12th, and there you go - a Month of Letters!

Does anyone else find themself falling behind through the week, then catching up in one short burst on the weekend? I always end up with a stack to send out on Monday or Tuesday, but then don’t start writing again until Friday 
Here’s my stacks from the past two weekends:

Sitting at my desk, on a ridiculously warm 7C February afternoon, writing cards and letters for Month of Letters. The sun is gorgeous and I am enjoying a Moomins tea from @tiitinen and suddenly this joyful surprise.
Just wanted to share —

At first I did not understand where to get addresses and was upset that I had no one to send postcards to, and then I rubbed my eyes and found a forum! 
It’s good that you can start even in mid-February!
Today I sent my first postcard in the month of letters and look what luck: I photographed a postcard with a postal car against the background of a postal car near the post office! Have a fun trip to Germany, little card!
Не понимаю, почему картинка перевернута и как это исправить
