First flying days

- All correspondence tells a story, usually to a specific person or group of people.
- Use them to illustrate your words to communicate from a third person perspective.
- Your correspondence may fill the gaps between your ever-growing collections of poems, sounds and worlds.
- For non writers use experience and after-thought to create your “letters” or “postcards”.
- Write a postcard on any subject and relate it to how you feel, try to chose a different style each time.
- Visualise the effect as a correspondence sequence, modify where the dialog is too long.
- See yourself just creating more and more separate “postcards to self” to put your different ideas in.
- Learn that it is those little bits, added day by day, week by week will add up to complex works.
- See that correspondence that may mean little to start with can be kept alive by creating stories and articles on all that has meaning to you.
- Recognise that writing correspondence is why we differ from all our lovely creatures on this planet; if only they could write to us about things.
- Notice that a handful of your collected correspondence may be trivial in some way and some deep and/or shallow but that they are the developing you.
- Don’t worry about adding “nonsense” correspondence because we can all share and hope someone else may find them interesting.
- Your correspondence will take on a new meaning after you have been going for a while and as you learn to re-classify the things in your life.
- You can look back if you want but once you have written one, move on and consider the “postcard” themes you are best at.
