I've joined the letter writing swap over at "A Bun Can Dance" have you?
Feeling pretty excited about it since I used to be (days long gone sadly) a massive letter writer with penfriends all over the world (as well as writing to friends and relatives nearby). I had a serious case of the writing bug back then, as I do now, but in a different context (and handwritten on pretty, pretty paper).
Apart from emails, postcards (yes, still, very much do those!) and the very occasional, but shortish letter I may rather use blogging as a letter writing substitute. Addressed to the world instead of someone particular. That obviously plays a part in keeping the writing bug in reasonably order.
But still, now and then I miss sending and receiving the handwritten on pretty stationary letter... Do you?

Receiving letters, cards and postcards is always a pleasant surprise in the mail, rather than the usual bills. However, I find it difficult to write newsy, funny letters.
