87. Annotations, Footnotes & Endnotes

In this episode of 1 Sealed Letter, we explore the art of annotating letters—how marking up the letters we receive can enhance our reading and response process, and how adding footnotes and endnotes to our own letters can bring a playful, creative depth to our correspondence.

I reflect on the unique power of letter writing to slow us down, connect us to loved ones, and offer a space for reflection and expression. We’ll also dive into how letters can be both ephemeral and archival, how I personally approach keeping (or recycling) letters, and ways to make our own writing more engaging through structure, creativity, and multimedia elements.

If you’ve ever wondered how to organize your thoughts in a response letter or how to make your own letters more dynamic and interactive, this episode is for you. Join me as we celebrate the beauty and richness of letter writing in the modern world.
