crowsb4bros Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Hi all! This month we will provide the opportunity to have a penpal again! The idea is to give people a pal to write to over the course of the month. This is a great opportunity to get to know other members better and to encourage each other to meet writing goals! Here's how to participate! - Post saying that you're in by 11:59pm GMT on June 30th. - We will pair you up with someone. The goal is that it will be someone you don't know very well or haven't interacted with a whole bunch. - You must commit to writing to your penpal AT LEAST 4 times throughout the month. They don't have to be very long letters, but they should be substantial and encouraging. Ideally, you'd check in more than that, but 4 times is the bare minimum. - We are only allowing each participant to have one penpal. We want you to have an opportunity to really get to know your penpal. To sign up, please use the following form: Pen Name: Goal: House: Nano Project: Will you be posting as you go?: Link to your NaNo Nest: What can your penpal do to help encourage you along?: We hope to see you all sign up! Update! Pen pals have been assigned!
