My wife hand-writes many letters each week, and quite enjoys it. I stick with email for now. 716622@blogcritics.org Fri, 9 May 2008 00:35:39 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/05/161019.php#comment-716481 i like to hand write my things but i would like to back and write neatly 716481@blogcritics.org Thu, 8 May 2008 15:21:21 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/05/161019.php#comment-716285 Truly inspiring. I never thought about this dimension of letter writing. These days using e-mail has gone so deep in to our system that we tend to think that is the nicest thing on earth. In fact, I now realise that human touch, emotions, thoughful expression of hand written words have the desired and lasting effect on the reader. Also it is time tested and proven way of connecting with people. Not just for the sake of communicating. It goes far beyond and is remembered for a long long time. It is such a pleasurable thing. You do not want to destry that but you cherish reading it repeatedly at different times of one's life. Great article. Keep it up. 716285@blogcritics.org Thu, 8 May 2008 00:44:33 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/05/161019.php#comment-702827 I read some of this, sadly I haven't the time to read all of it, sorry. But I found what I read somewhat interesting. (This is me not being sure if I should use the word interesting or not.) I don't write letters myself, but I do write books, unlike most people though, I handwrite them out in pencil or type them up on a typewriter. I find that it actually increases my flow of thought and allows me to better understand what I am reading or writing - reading when I'm doing research on a subject. So, I actually urge you all to write a letter at one point in the day, maybe something to remind yourself of when you get home from work, or really just about anything. It doesn't have to be sent, but I find that it helps you concentrate almost the whole day if you do in the morning. 702827@blogcritics.org Sun, 16 Mar 2008 00:25:34 EDT
