Oh single lol or double side counts as two lol. Its funny writing a pen pal 10 pages is easy cause the words just flow lol. When its a requirement lol its a little tougher sometimes rotfl. Always fun :)

Could it be like a journal? A journal with different entries telling about the days? Or should it be more planned out in paragraphs with each paragraph being a topic? I do not write letters and I'm not very creative at things like that but I would like to try. I just do not want to get it wrong.

Also, please clarify (I am confused with your last reply, sorry)

10 sheets of paper: witten on both sides for 20 pages of writing
10 sheets of paper: written only one side for 10 pages of writing
5 sheets of paper: written on both sides for 10 pages of writing

I am going to watch for now, until I can clarify something. If we type, regular font (12/14) would it be only 5 pages? because 1 regular written page takes up about a half a page of typed pages.

If this can help anyone about sheet/page 1 sheet=2 pages, it's just like in a book, a journal or anything else. People tend to confuse Pages/sheets but it's so easy and logical.

About the journal question, I personnally think that everybody should be free to write the letter under the form they prefer because I know it's not easy for some people. I'm a long letter writer for years, it's a really easy thing for me but I wouldn't mind receiving a typical letter with paragraphs or a journal, or 1 sheet per topic or any other form.

But I let the coordinator deciding, it was just the opinion of a "possible partner" (I haven't joined yet...)

Let's see if I can help here :D

Typed pages, 5 pages on one side I think is good, because you can fit more writing on a typed page.

Handwritten 10 sheets of paper written on 1 side.

Handwritten on 5 sheets of paper (written on front and back 2 sides.

Journal entries are fine, just as long as it meets the writing requirements of 10 pages (front side) or 5 pages (front and back) or 5 pages typed (front side)

Man, this one could almost qualify as a Type 3 craft. It's package sized and will take a good deal of time and thought to complete. Simply because it is written art and not visual shouldn't exclude it... I wonder how others would think of that? Anyhow, count me in! This looks like it's going to be loads of fun!

We can put it to a 3 :)

I will admit. The last time i did a 10 page letter swap. I spent 3-4 movies of writing time lol. It took a couple of days. I used legal paper that had small lines lol. It seemed like it took forever but i sure had a lot of fun :) one of my favorite swaps :)
