A different sort of Writing Contest

One of my favorite writing podcasters is Mur Laferty aka The Mighty Mur. Over on her blog -- I should be Writing -- is a new sort of writing challenge:

Thanks to the movements of Mary Robinette Kowal, February is deemed the Month of Letters. She challenges people to hand write letters every day this month, and has created a site (see above) where people can exchange addresses.

I love this idea. I'm spending a bit of my weekend looking into to it and seeing what sort of letter I can contribute.

In fact, I may take Mur up on her offer and let her know what her podcast means to me.
