Progress, address book

I feel that 2015 InCoWriMo will be better than 2014 InCoWriMo. I've gotten over a certain amount of shyness writing and responding to people I might not have considered to be correspondents for me via penpalling sites. I only surprised 5 FPGeeky people last year, but including in yesterday's outgoing post I have written to 8 new InCoWriMo/FPGeeky people and intend to write more surprises. I have started receiving them and I responded to all the surprises I received last year so I intend to do the same this year.

Should new correspondence be successful I will be writing address is in my address book. However, how many letters exchanged with someone are there in a correspondence considered to be success?

I heard back from my penpal with a "Vincent van Gogh" or "Vincent Van Gogh" type name. She would file it under V because she considers the "Van" starts with a capital V, although her musical instrument (I forget which instrument) tutor came from Europe and she would file her name under "G". In conclusion, she said to file it under whatever is easier. I will have an address book writing session before mid-March I guess. I still haven't started using the Simon Drew address book given to me for my birthday 2 years ago. I wonder what I want for my birthday in April this year when i will be 42 years old
