Connect to your friends through handwritten notes, cards, letters, and postcards-an interactive workbook that

Put down

that smartphone and pick up a pen! Texting and e-mail have taken over

our correspondence, but Karen Benke is ready to change that. Through

prompts that invite penning short postcard-size notes, ideas for sending

cards ""just because,"" and inspired letter-writing exercises, Pass That Note! offers

limitless possibilities for connecting with your friends in more

personal, unique, and creative ways. Use the book for its letter-writing

ideas, tear out pages to send to friends, or write in it as a journal

to record big ideas for future correspondence. No matter how you use it,

you'll be connecting with the people you care about the most in ways

that are surprising, fun, and heartfelt.

Contributors include- Neil Gaiman, Jon J Muth, Ruth Ozeki, Wendy

Mass, Gary Snyder, Norman Fischer, Natalie Goldberg, Jane Hirshfield,
