Miss Word


This week, I would like to share a project named “Miss Word” with you. “Miss Word” is conducted by some students from NCCU department of advertising. They are going to graduate from NCCU this year. And I think what the project does for people just suits them.

“Miss Word” project promotes writing by hands. The conductors consider that through hang-writing, people could convey their true feeling lots more than typing.
And it runs like this: first, you need to pay 100NTD to buy a special envelope with a postcard, an exclusive “Miss Word” edition UNI ball pen, and a stamp for “future mail”. Then, write down what you want to say to who you want to say to, after finishing hand-writing, just put it in to the mailbox they prepared, and in the next year(2014) you or the one you mail to will receive a postcard from 2013.

I found this activity on facebook. One of my friends’s “liked” on its fan page caught my eye, so I checked it, and I took an interest in it immediately. I think it is meaningful to send a letter for people in the future, to express our feelings “in the past”. Therefore I introduce “Miss Word” to you, hope you like it.

  1. Dear Lynn Chung,
    I know the event from my roommate last week, too. It is really meaningful and lets people want to give it a try. Just like the time capsule, we can receive past encouragement and wishes in the future. That must be very special and unexpected. However, I don’t have strong incentive to attend. Though I like its idea very much, I don’t know what I should write now and I am scared that someone could see my deep mind accidentally. Maybe it’s because I stay in the dark in regard of the definition of my life. If you want to say something to 20-year-old yourself, you can experience “Miss Word” project. Many of my friends did it, and they were all excited.

  2. It's just like a time pill. you send a letter to yourself or someone in the future. To say what you want to say. But I think it is interesting that what will the receiver think in the future.
