Writing tips
Make the card feel specific
Start with what you want to apologise for so the card feels personal quickly.
Choose a tone before writing: simple for accountability.
Add one concrete message angle, such as plain accountability, instead of trying to say everything.
Keep the final line easy to read aloud, because the best card messages sound like something you would actually say.
