Most letters these days are formal. They force you to put on your most official self, to choose words as if they carry weight. #amwriting

Write a personal letter and a formal one; consider the differences between them. Do both feel like you? Was one easier to write? #amwriting

Write a letter to a friend as if you haven’t spoken in a while. Pay attention to how your voice changes with this in mind. #amwriting
