I used to have a pen pal, actually I’ve had a few over my life. In school we had pen pals. We also wrote letters to random companies to tell them how much we liked the product. I chose Burton snowboards and received a letter back, a t-shirt and stickers and a VHS of snowboarders!
Super cool 😎
In recent years, I started a pen pal friendship with a fellow author in Pennsylvania. It fizzled out through Covid, mainly cuz I had surgery on my arm so it hurt to write and it also seemed to be just one more thing on my task list to do.
Sometimes I think about writing to her again, or maybe I’ll seek a new pen pal one day!
It’s a dying art, something I think schools should instill in children again.
Honour the written word,
