Write_On 2016 Recap
Thank you for participating in the 2016 Write_On Challenge, our most successful challenge to date. 10,000 of you wrote nearly 300,000 letters in the month of April -- it turns out many of you have been missing letter writing in your life!
If you struggled with writing 30 letters in April, take heart, you're not alone! The Write_On Challenge is a "challenge" for us at Egg Press and Hello!Lucky too. But we've yet to hear anyone say they regretted writing any letters and we've found that for some of us who've completed 3 years of the challenge now that the letter-writing muscles get stronger the more you use them. At Egg Press we have a dedicated letter-writing desk year-round that's always stocked with pens and cards and stamps and during Write_On (in the interest of friendly competition!) we keep a Write_On score card in the studio so everyone can mark their progress.
Two of the biggest things we've learned are that having a dedicated place to write letters really helps and that by creating a regular habit, it becomes a regular habit, whether that's a weekly or monthly thing for you. We also get sooo much inspiration from hearing from you all and enjoy browsing the #write_on feed on Instagram (currently at 14,234 posts!). What an inspiring movement this has grown into!
