October Themes
Even though the temperature here in New York is supposed to reach 90 this weekend, we're still gearing up for fall. Apples and foliage are on the mind, and evoke lots of memories of fall, family, and food that are great for fall letter-writing. Here's a few themes that come to mind if you're finding your pen stuck for ideas:
+ Favorite fall memories from childhood
+ Halloween (best/worst costumes, best haunted memories, that time you dressed up as a ______ and ________ happened).
+ Back to school stories (Did you just head back to class in September?)
+ New projects: start a business? a new art project? start writing your thesis? Renovating your house?
Happy writing, and happy fall!
COMMENTS
I just wrote my October letter by photocopying a page from my calendar and annotating all of the entries. I thought it might be a good way to explain myself to someone new.
