The writing funk is real. I relate. It's been a minute since I've been able to put together cogent lines of poetry or essay. Letter writing, postcards, pen pals - oh yes! I handwrite two letters each year to my best from highschool—one for her birthday and one for the holiday season. However, my handwriting has become atrociously unreadable since I started using a keyboard 44 years ago. This - substack comments on each other's posts - is a way of being pen pals for me.
I like that you still hand write a letter to someone. I occasionally do, maybe once a year and send a holiday card to about 5 people. Hope you are getting through this dark season okay.

Let’s bring back writing letters!!! I have this great book called Letters from Hollywood and it’s pictures of all these letters written by the stars!
Yes! I’ll have to find that book and check it out.
