The goodbye letter/Lettera di arrivederci

THE GOODBYE LETTER WRITING PROJECT di Alan Robarge

Here's a creative invitation. Let's write some goodbye letters. Are you in?

Here are the details: write a goodbye letter. Not just any old letter. Not the one you've already written in your head 18 times. Today, it's time for a new letter. Let's write something fresh.

Please write a goodbye letter that is FOR YOU - not FOR THE OTHER PERSON. Make this writing exercise about what you need today. Let's keep it short and simple.

Please write 20 to 25 sentences or less. That number of sentences is the equivalent of one good paragraph. Distill it down. Boil it down. Let's get to the bottom line here. You're encouraged not to rehash the historical drama of the story or get bogged down by the details. Get to the point and say goodbye. Dear Partner, Dear Beloved, Dear Friend, Dear Mom, Dear Loneliness, Dear Oppression, Dear Trauma, Dear Family...
