InCoWriMo, which stands for International Correspondence Writing Month, is one of our favorite initiatives here at Goulet Pens. The concept is simple, “send a handwritten letter, card or note to someone every day for the month of February. It doesn’t have to be a novel or even news, it’s entirely up to you what you write.” But coming up with recipients for 28 days worth of letters can be a challenge. Goulet Pens wants to make it easier for you to get involved, so we’ve provided some ideas that our Media team brainstormed up. If you are looking for some ideas of what to write, check out our pen pal suggestions from Thanksgiveaway last year!
