I can\u2019t count how many times I\u2019ve imagined myself sitting at my desk, a beautiful fountain pen poised over carefully chosen stationery as I begin to write a letter to a friend. In these daydreams, the words flow freely. My steaming cup of coffee goes cold and untouched as the words keep coming. I know just what to say and how I want to say it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The reality is that the words don\u2019t come. I sit at my desk, tapping my pen and anxiously sipping that steaming cup of coffee as I try to figure out what to write. Letter writing is something that is so romanticized, it hardly seems right to send someone an account my day. Surely I can find something better to write about.<\/p>\n
Whenever it comes to writing, whether it\u2019s in my journal or in a letter to a friend, I often turn to prompts to help guide me. I keep a long list of them and scroll through it until something calls out to me. If, like me, you\u2019ve longed to have a letter-writing practice, here are some of my favorite things to write about when nothing else comes to me.<\/p>\n
1. A moment of kindness you witnessed while people-watching
\n2. A place you\u2019ve always wanted to visit and what you hope to do there
\n3. One thing on this season\u2019s bucket list
\n4. A compliment you\u2019ve always wanted to give to the recipient
\n5. A book or movie you\u2019ve recently experienced and want to recommend
\n6. A person who has made a profound impact on your life
\n7. Something small you\u2019ve accomplished recently that makes you feel really good
\n8. A list of questions you\u2019ve always wanted to ask the recipient
\n9. How you\u2019d spend your ideal day
\n10. A holiday you\u2019ve made up and how you\u2019d like to celebrate it<\/p>\n
