FIVE, 5, read it ... five penpals I made today. Neat. I wrote one of them tonight a short three pager, finished a short three pager for Sarah, and tomorrow they get sent off to their recipients. 8) You know, the only problem with letters...is the liquid ...ness...of them. Meaning, since they are mostly handwritten the stories I end up writing in them only go to one person. And the idea of writing the same story over for another person seems endless. Like I would need some time to distance myself from the story. Then there is the option of printing them out...which I could very well do and therefore the stories could be cut and pasted...JUST the stories mind you. Not the rest of it. And that is problem. A type written letter is generally more informative and stable. A hand written letter may take several hours, days and interupptions to write and therefore takes on a different life of it's own. It has more of a soul then a typed one. A factor in this could be that a letter typed is usually written from work--away from fancy paper, stamps and the like, and the printer is in the dining room next to Tim. Who is ALWAYS on the computer "in the middle of something". So..what to do. A combination of both would be best....or just kick him out and print it and then doctor the paper...and stuff.
