Month long letter journal

Years back, I had a pen pal who introduced me to letter journals. We would write a few pages every day or every few days in a notebook, and at the end of the month send it off to each other. We would then reply to the letter over the next month in another notebook, etc. Composition books work GREAT for this - no spiral! - and aren't terribly expensive. We would sometimes decorate the pages or add bits to the pages - like a journal - but mail it off.

For this swap, you will have 1 (ONE) partner, use a notebook (no smaller than 5x7 please) and write to your partner over the course of a month. This is a letter, so introduce yourself, tell about your life. It isn't a requirement for you to reply (I have no control over that, after all), BUT, if you would like to continue the process, please communicate that with your partner. Of course life can get busy, but aim to write at least a page each day. You need to include 20 dated entries, Each entry should be at least a page long (like a letter). So your finished 'letter' should be at least 20 pages long. You will write over the course of one month then send if off to your partner. Decoration isn't a requirement, but if you wish to personalize your notebook, please feel free to do so. If you wish, you may create your own journal for the month.

Edit 6/8: You may begin to write your letter when you sign up! Just make sure you write in the journal over the course of 30 days. If you wish to start your introduction when you sign up, you may do that. After 25 entries, you may then mail your journal letter to your partner. (Doesn't have to be July 1-July31)
