PostFun - same as the above, but it’s an app on your phone
Now, if you wanna have a little more long term relationship with someone via snail mail, but you don’t feel like you have the energy to write big long letters, or spend time on mail art (y'all who do mail art, it’s gorgeous, I’m exhausted just watching y'all), what you’re looking for is a Postcard Pal. It’s a penpal you agree to send postcards to! You are constrained by the writing section of the card! Much more condensed! Where would you find such a person? Here’s a couple of places.
The Letter Exchange - the print zine mailed quarterly has a category for postcards. Bonus - it’s a letter forwarding service so you decide when you give your postcard pal your address.
Postcrossing Forums - you will need to sign up to get access, there is a Penpal forum.
r/penpals and r/penpalsover30 - Does what it says on the tin, but you do have to sort through people who want emailpals as well.
Ah yes. My favourite part of editing. Actually having to fill in the (INSERT CLEVER CLUE HERE) placeholders I so optimistically left in my first draft.
For me it’s always [write pretty, atmospheric description here] because, despite popular belief, vivid and poetic nonsense doesn’t just pop into my brain on command
Here to bring joy in the day to day. I'll be posting/reposting whatever speaks to me at the moment.
