TIL my neighbor's typewriter habit sparked a cool writing idea

So, my neighbor collects old typewriters and I found out he writes weird letters to no one. It got me thinking about a prompt where someone finds mysterious notes from next door. Anyone have tips on how to build the story? I'm stuck on why the neighbor is doing it. Like, maybe it's a code for something bigger?

Wait, he writes letters to no one? Could it be some kind of memory thing or is he just practicing?

My drafts folder is just letters to exes I never sent.

Wondering if @the_zara ever re-reads those drafts years later. Do they seem silly now, or do the old feelings still hit the same way? It's a specific kind of time capsule.
