Here's another round of diary postcards, with a slight change to make it less costly especially if you have an international partner.... For this swap you will have 1 partner, and you will send that partner 7 postcards. On each postcard you should write a diary-type entry. Write your first card on Sunday 8/23 and then write one a day until your last one on Saturday 8/29. At the end of each day, give yourself some time to record the day's events. What did you do that day? What did you think about? Did something make you especially happy or especially unhappy? You can write anything along these lines, as long as you're giving some sort of view of your day. The next morning, pop that postcard in the mail, and write the next card that evening. Repeat until the week is out! (Since there's no mail pick-up in the US at least on Sundays, the Saturday postcard will have to be mailed on the following Monday.) If you don't have access to a mailbox every day, you can still join: write a card a day and mail them in batches when you visit the post--just be sure that all 7 cards are mailed by Monday 8/31. And here's the change in case your partner isn't in your country (or even if they are): feel free to send a number of your postcards together in an envelope. You can probably get 4 in one envelope and 3 in another--that way you only pay postage twice. Of course, you don't have to do this; you can still choose to send each postcard separately, but this gives you another option if you'd like. It's up to the sender to decide how they want to send their cards. Types of postcards sent are the sender's choice. Both commercially produced cards and hand-made cards are fine. Other details: 1) This is an international swap. 2) No unrated swappers for this one; sorry. 3) Swappers with a rating below 4.98 or a profile that may cause concern will be dropped before partners are assigned. If there's something on your profile that you think might raise eyebrows, please PM me in advance. |
