When was the last time you got excited about checking the mail?
Not your inbox. Your actual letterbox.
Remember getting a letter with your name on it? Not a bill. Not a catalogue. I miss that.
So I'm starting a snail mail club called TTV Field Notes. One letter a month, posted to your mailbox.

A little peek inside?
A sample letter from String. Written by hand in a Melbourne park, October.

OCT 2026
Dear Curious human,
I'm starting something. It's called 'Field Notes'.
Why? I'm inspired by the current state of our world. I love tech, and using AI makes me feel like a super efficient human.
Still, it's also making me want to slow down and be more intentional. Handwriting this letter in a park, feeling the heat of the sun, and hearing the birds chirp… I feel at peace.
It also makes me smile.
So what's Field Notes? It's a monthly letter (handwritten) filled with personal stories, curious discoveries, observations and random rambles. And little surprises.
So, if you're vibing this, consider this a personal invitation to join. Come tap into your creativity, spark your curiosity, and open to meaningful connections.
From, String
P.S. I'm not anti-AI. I'm pro-human and pro-creative.
Dear curious human,
this is String.
I'm String Nguyen. A creative who sits at the intersection of future and tech, but who really just loves being creative.
Field Notes is where I slow all of that down to the length of a letter. Written by me, not a machine.
What's inside
the envelope?
- A letter from me. Written by hand, then reproduced and mailed to you.
- A little something extra. Maybe a postcard, a convo menu, a game, something that sparks a giggle, a surprise, or aha moment.
- An open invitation to write back. Tell me what you think. Disagree with me. Send me something interesting of your own.
P.S. Yes, the fried chicken bullet points are staying. Some things are non-negotiable.
Two directions we're playing with.
Mockups of two directions we're building. The final look lands in your first envelope.
Be first to get a letter.
The first letters are being written now. Everyone on the list hears first, and gets the founding-reader price.
Once letters start, it's $17 a month. Postage included. Cancel whenever you like.
The finer details.
Is every letter handwritten individually?
The original letter is written by hand and then reproduced on quality paper. It keeps the handwriting and personality without making the club impossible to run.
Is postage included?
Yes, postage is included in the $17 monthly subscription. If you're outside Australia and shipping gets steep, I may ask for a small top-up.
What happens after I join the list?
Nothing, until the first letter is ready. Then you'll get one email with the date and a link to subscribe. If it's not for you, ignore it and that's the end of it.
Can I cancel?
Yes. It's month to month. Cancel whenever you like and your subscription ends at the close of the current billing period.
Can I reply to a letter?
That's part of the idea. Reply details will come inside your first letter.
Can I give this as a gift?
Yes, gift subscriptions are being set up for launch. Join the list and I'll share the details before the first letter posts.
Can I update my address if I move?
Yes. Let me know and your next letter heads to the new letterbox.
