A Message from the Future!

Last week was National Letter Writing Week, and we celebrated by asking you to write, in one tweet, a letter from your future self. The message could be from the near future, the far future, serious, or funny. Here are our favorites:

Thanks to all the future-letter writers!

This week we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming – tweet any word of the day from this week in a sentence demonstrating the word’s meaning, and you may appear on our blog.

Happy twooshing!

Letter Writing Week Contest: A Letter from Your Future Self

Happy Letter Writing Week!

This week in celebration, instead of our usual Word of the Day Perfect Tweet Challenge (sorry twooshers!), we’ll be holding a special contest.

You may have heard of Dear Me: A Letter to My Sixteen-Year Old Self. We’re asking you to write a letter from your future self.

This could be from the near future (“Don’t have Mexican on Thursday”) or the far (“The jet packs are awesome. Don’t bother exercising”). The only requirement is that your “letter” fits in a single tweet, with or without the hashtag #futureletter. If you don’t use the hashtag, @ us the tweet or a link to the tweet.

The contest will run from today through Friday the weekend. On Monday we’ll post our favorites right here.

In the meantime, enjoy our post on different types of letters and notes.

Happy letter writing! Or tweeting, we should say.
