Write Together

Choose tonight's opening first, then ease into the first letter.

You do not need to explain the whole letter at once. Set the tone for tonight, write the first passage, then let the system send the first letter for you.

Step One

Begin by choosing where tonight opens.

Do not face the whole letter yet. Start from the truest opening in this night, then admit one small thing you are actually willing to write down.

A single small sentence is enough. It is not there to explain you. It is there to make the letter feel inhabited.
