9 Essentials to Start Letter Writing as a Hobby
As we continue to live with limited socialization, there has never been a better time to take up written correspondence as a way to keep in touch. Letter writing offers us so many things at once: a more thoughtful and tactile form of communication, a form of gift-giving that shows someone time was spent in thinking of them, a physical memory one can keep for years, and even an art form. Taking the time to sit down and write to a loved one can be meditative as well as a thoughtful gesture, and that moment of peace can be a blessing for all of us right now.
Here are a few tools that can help make letter writing more of a part of your everyday life.
