It’s possible no one will ever read this. I am happy to say, it doesn’t matter. I am going to write even if no one reads what I write.
If you’re a writer and you want to guarantee someone reads what you write, then write letters to loved ones. I still have a few family members who don’t have computers. They love getting letters, especially handwritten ones. They read mine, then they send me an answer. Instead of seconds or minutes, the whole process takes a week or two at a combined cost of nearly a dollar.
I could just pick up the phone and call them, but I have trouble hearing on the phone and some of them have the same problem. Our conversations tend toward hilarity. “I hear you fine, I just can’t understand what you’re saying…”
And in the end, I find I must write a letter to be sure they understood what I told them on the phone. So it saves time, if not money, to write a letter.
One dear friend who calls me a youngster was wondering when I’d publish another book. I told her I have an ebook in progress. “You should get a Kindle reader, I think you’d like it,” I said.
“I’ve seen those for sale,” she said. “I don’t reckon I could figure out how to use it.”
“Oh it’s easy to use,” I told her. “You could get your son to set it up and after that, it’s a breeze.”
“Yeah, well, it’d just be another thing I’d have to remember where I set it. Then I’d spend half the day looking for it, and another half of the day trying to remember what I was looking for.”
I couldn’t argue with that.
Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written. I’ll try to do better here on out. Hope you’re having a wonderful day.
Thanks for stopping by!

I read it! If your friend has a computer, she should get the Kindle PC. Then, she wouldn't misplace it! So glad to *see* you!

Thanks, Lynn! She doesn't “do” computers either. She has trouble with her TV's remote control–yet she has a flat-screen TV! Cute & funny.
