More on the Belles Lettres Project

So the more research I do on this, the more interesting it gets. I went to the library yesterday and found literally 25 or more sources to research on the topic. I'm breaking it down into some different categories:

The history of letter writing
The history of mail art
Letter writing as a teaching/social tool
Images of Mail art
Images of my own/friends personal letters
Interviews with friends/others and their firsthand relationships with letters

This may seem like a lot, but it's better to have too much than too little. Eventually, I'll pare all this down to the bare essentials and make a rad book. Maybe I can even do the typesetting on the letterpress (or is that a little too ambitious?) Remains to be seen, I suppose.

Life right now is pretty much school, school, school, drool. But it's the best thing that has happened to me since...well, ever, I guess. You might think I'm exaggerating but really, I've never felt so totally immersed in schoolwork and creating before. It's wonderful.

Oh yeah, if anyone has any letter stories/cool images, hit me up. And if you don't now, expect and e-mail/survey/somethingsomething from me in the near future.
