How to Use "What to Write"

What to Write is a series of articles consisting of suggestions on what to write in your cards and letters. It is designed to help those people who want to keep in touch, but can never figure out what to say.

Most articles will start with a story relating to the topic. This will then follow with simple guidelines to help you through the process. Keep in mind, however, that these are not hard and fast rules. They are merely suggestions to help you with your writer's block. The more you write, the easier it will become and these ideas, along with many others will flow from you. In the meantime, I truly hope these will help you get started.

If you don't want to read the story please feel free to skip to the guidelines. The story is included to put the ideas offered into perspective. For quickie tips go the FAQ and select What to Write Quickie Guidelines.
