    Don’t let a lack of at-the-ready recipients keep you from accepting the InCoWriMo Challenge. With this list, you don’t even need a personal address book.

    My Fellow InCo’s, Welcome to Day Three of InCoWriMo 2014!

A total of 170 letters from around the world. That’s impressive, Mark. Now what I’d like to know is: How many words? Just kidding. A little. Maybe. Some of my non-pen friends (I have a few) occasionally ask me, “Why InCoWriMo?” This is why! Thanks for sharing, Mark! May you and all the rest of us enjoy a very Merry InCoWriMo!
