the shortest month…
January 26, 2012
February, which will be here in a couple of blinks, is, of course, the shortest month, even in its longer-than-usual 2012 version. A short month is the perfect time for short poems, and thus it is the ideal calendar spot for National Haiku Writing Month (NaHaiWriMo).
But, wait. There’s more. If the short, cold days of February have you longing for something rich and personal, author Mary Robinette Kowal invites you to participate in The Month of Letters Challenge.
The idea is simple: each day the U.S. Postal Service operates during the month of February (that’s 24 if you deduct Sundays and President’s Day), mail a letter, a postcard, something through the U.S. mail, and reply to any letters you receive. There’s more info on the Month of Letters website and on the Month of Letters Facebook page.
…So how long has it been since you received a handwritten letter? Wouldn’t it be nice?…
