Today is National Send a Card to a Friend Day! To celebrate this day, we imagined what letters fictional friends would send to each other. Just don’t think too hard about how the letters were delivered; we’re not quite sure how letters are sent to Oz or how Owl puts stamps on postcards.

Virginia Woolf famously said, “A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.” We couldn’t agree more, but we would like to add to it a little bit: a woman also needs some amazing literary decorations in said room (after her aforementioned money goes towards paying rent and all that). After all, how else is she supposed to get inspiration?

Fortunately for all you aspiring lady authors, we’ve compiled our favorite literary items to decorate your authorial apartment.

Meatloaf famously sang: “I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that.” Since it’s hard to part us from our Netflix accounts and our heaters, things we wouldn’t do for love include traveling through the harshest elements of winter (sorry, loved ones – take an Uber over to us, but don’t expect us to leave the house). But not everyone is as wimpy as us, and we’ve found five characters who would brave the cold for love – fortunately or unfortunately for them.

Tomorrow marks that dreaded date, Friday the 13^th—a day where you may want to call in sick in order to avoid bad luck. But have no fear! Even if you accidentally trip or butt-dial an ex, your luck won’t be as bad as the luck of the characters we list below. Schadenfreude at work!

We all have those friends, the ones who encourage us to make poor decisions. You know, the ones who tell you to buy that expensive shirt you can’t afford or to go ahead and have one more slice of cake. Or hey—eat the whole dang thing! Who cares about your resolution to eat better?

We’ve compiled a list of the fictional characters you want to avoid if you want to keep your New Year’s resolutions.

If you really want to know about the best places to go in New York, I will tell you about them. They are the places where you will see the least amount of phonies. You know, the ones in plaid or expensive suits. I really hate those people. As much as I hate the movies.
