So out of curiosity, has anyone actually received a postcard that has used the monthly writing prompt as the subject matter? I always seem to forget about using that when writing my cards and yet there are times when I struggle with what to write, especially when the bio is very short, that it would be useful. I have only been in the group for a little under a year but I myself have yet to get a card using the prompts. Just one of my many random thoughts for the day.

Not sure if I’ve received such a card. Never checked whether the text of a card I got coincided with recent writing prompts. But on least one occasion I have made use of the monthly theme and written several cards on it

I don’t remember receiving one, but I used to use the prompt myself, so other people will have done!

I’ve received cards answering questions I have in my bio, but I’ve never received a card that answered the monthly writing prompts posted in Postcrossing’s blog. I have, however, used the blog’s writing prompts for the postcards I send to others. It’s especially useful to send to those who have little to no information in their bio.

Not a once!
I’m a newbie here… what’s the writing prompt for the month? (I’m going to look this up!) I think this is a good idea if we dont know what to say. But to answer your question no, I just speak freely. Telling the person about my day (if anything exciting happened), mostly about the weather or anything they post on their page.

Never received one and never write one 
Only a few weeks ago someone referred to the monthly writing prompt and then asked “what about you?” - that was the first and only time anyone has ever used it on a card to me, and also the only time I ever wrote anything concerning such a prompt (and it was only in the registration message).
I’ve never received one… BUT I do use the monthly writing prompt when I come across a blank profile or a profile that only lists the cards they want to receive on it.
