My main task over the weekend has been to continue writing away on that looong letter I received a few weeks ago. It is from a penpal who writes once a year and thus, the letter is 34 about A4 sized sheets long, i. e. 68 pages. I'm on sheet 22 (A5 size) of my reply by now and far from done. I started replying on 1 October and it usually takes me a month to reply but I hope to keep the time a little shorter this time. After I am done catching up on DW and comment writing here, I'll go write some more.

My goodness that's a long letter! I can't imagine much gets left out of those.

Oh, there is almost always something left out. I sent my last letter to her mid-September 2022 and received hers mid-September 2023 so there is by now more than a full year between writing the last and writing this reply. Almost always, I forget to include something or else I deem it not relevant anymore after, say, 6 months have passed. Else my reply would get even longer. ;-) I am currently on sheet 26 (A5 size) and expect to hit sheet 28, which is the last in that particular letter paper. That was the initial goal when starting and I'm pleased that I can manage it.

Today, when I went to check my po box, there were 3 new penpal letters so I don't know if I'll sneak some quick, short replies inbetween the writing sessions on the behemoth. Hm.
