10 Things To Write About In A Letter

I don’t know how many times I have pictured myself at my desk with a fountain pen and carefully selected stationery, writing a letter to a friend. These daydreams are full of words. As I keep writing, my hot cup of coffee gets colder and more untouched. I know exactly how and what I want.

The truth is that words rarely come. As I struggle to find the right words, I am glued to my computer. It is romanticized to write letters. I am sure that there is more to my writing.

Writing is my favorite activity. I use prompts to guide me, whether it be in a journal or a letter to friends. I keep a lot of prompts, and then scroll through the list until I find something that interests me. Here are my top picks for writing about things that come to mind when I am not thinking of anything else.
