It does me good to write a letter which is not a response to a demand, a gratuitous letter, so to speak, which has accumulated in me like the waters of a reservoir.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In my experience an appreciative letter from a fellow writer means a lot.
I like writing letters and receiving letters. It's a shame that we've lost the art of letter-writing and saving correspondence. I mourn that.
Letters are something from you. It's a different kind of intention than writing an e-mail.
I love to write, so it rarely seems like work - even when it gets arduous.
People write me letters and say I should answer them. But I don't like to answer letters. I don't write letters. I've never written my mother one.
I write a story as if it were a letter to someone and essentially, that's what you do.
One serious drawback about letters is that, in order to get them, one must send some out. When it comes to the mail, I feel it is better to receive than to give.
For me, the real pleasure in writing is in having an excuse to pursue my curiosity about people who have meant something to me.
The need to write comes from the need to make sense of one's life and discover one's usefulness.
I do not pretend to write much of a letter. You know under what circumstances I am writing.
