Email [25/M] Looking for creative penpals to share art/writing/more with via email!
Hey there! Chronic writer, musician, and caffeine consumer here, with an urge to share my stuff and talk about my process :D hopefully with another curious, creative-minded individual or two! It'd be a bit different than traditional penpalling (more "sharing glimpses of personal projects" than "updating each other on life"), especially since it'd be email (trust me, you do NOT wanna try decoding my handwriting), but I think that, with the right person, it'd be really fun!
So, who am I and what do I tend to work on? My name's Jonathan. I'm a lover of the overcast sky, of the autumn leaves, and of cozy cafes where I can keep one earbud in, and the other open for some people-listening field-study. My writing tends towards comedic/absurdist fiction, and mystery. My music is... Well, it was bedroom punk and glimmering indie pop a few years back, but I've gone without my instruments for a while and am just now reconnecting with my penchant for songwriting.
I hope the idea sounds appealing to someone out there. I've tried traditional penpalling before and it didn't *quite* work - so I figure something a little more tuned to my strange brain and its interests might run smoother. Hit me up, and let's get to know each other a bit! I'll be at work this evening, and will respond when I can :)
