My Fellow InCo’s, Welcome to Day Three of InCoWriMo 2014! First to share a letter with us is s.Jane Mills, who started her InCoWriMo Adventure by writing a letter to her mail carrier – how thoughtful! Next up is Kenneth Thomas who shows us the wax seal he has affixed to an outgoing letter. The symbols/characters are recognizable, but what could they mean? Perhaps the comments section will provide abundant theories (could be fun!). And last, but certainly not least, John J. Nosal shares the calligraphic card with which he began his InCoWriMo Safari.

PSA: The Consequences of InCoWriMo
To kick off InCoWriMo 2014, Mark Harris shares a photo of the aftermath of his participation in InCoWriMo 2013. Twenty letters per column. Eight full columns. Ten stragglers.

Judging by the size of his mailbox, either some of the die cast cars are nearly life-size or many of his fountain pens are oversize: InCoWriMo starts in two days! Carl has taken The Pledge. Have you? Carl would love to receive your InCoWriMo cards and letters: Carl Wood 672 Maple Valley…
