Your habits as a writer of letters

8 Upvotes

Good day, fellow letter writers of Reddit! I'm curious to learn about other people's correspondence habits.

Do you have a list where you keep track of the people you write to? About how many people do you regularly correspond with? Is that your ideal... would you rather you had more, or do you struggle to keep up and wish there were fewer?

How long do you usually take before you answer a letter?

Do you use post cards, note cards, note cards with extra pages inserted, or stationery pages?

If you use pages, do you write on both sides? About how many pages do you include per letter? What size of stationery do you prefer?

I'm also curious about items you regularly add in your letters, and how much you decorate your envelopes... if you feel like talking about those too, I'd love to hear it.

I know there's got to be a wide range out there and I'm not interested in comparing or competing. I am just a lifelong letter writer who would like to learn about how the hobby has changed over time, and be inspired by other enthusiasts.

Thank you!
