30 days, 30 letters - the 30 day letter challenge

This project was around since at least 2011, and I participated in 2013, however, I never uploaded and I probably never will upload those letters as they are brutally honest and, to be fair, quite embarrassing.

I don’t know who originally invented this, but I have seen it on tumblr and DeviantART before it reached the fanfiction community to which I was uploading my fanfictions at the time.

But what exactly is the 30 letter challenge? For 30 days, you will write one letter every day. It can be short, it can be long. It can be written from your perspective, or from the perspective of a character you invented, or even a character you like, making a fanfiction out of it.

You can use it to tell people what you always wanted to tell them, or to just be honest to yourself about how you feel about these people.

I personally loved the project. It didn’t only help me learn how to phrase things more nicely, but it also opened my eyes and made me realise a lot about the relations I had with other people.

If you’d like to participate, let me know in the comments down below, and if you feel comfortable with it, feel free to link to your letters. I’d love to read them.

So here’s the list of people you’ll be writing your letters to.

Day 1 - Your Best Friend
Day 2 - Your Crush
Day 3 - Your parents
Day 4 - Your sibling (or closest relative)
Day 5 - Your dreams
Day 6 - A stranger
Day 7 - Your Ex-boyfriend/girlfriend/love/crush
Day 8 - Your favorite internet friend
Day 9 - Someone you wish you could meet
Day 10 - Someone you don’t talk to as much as you’d like to
Day 11 - A Deceased person you wish you could talk to
Day 12 - The person you hate most/caused you a lot of pain
Day 13 - Someone you wish could forgive you
Day 14 - Someone you’ve drifted away from
Day 15 - The person you miss the most
