A Writer’s Fan Letter Unanswered. Writers, Do You Know Why?
Writer Fan Letter Unanswered. Writers, Do You Know Why?
In my Hooking Readers workshops, I always pass along what was passed along to me by my mentors, most all coming from my longtime affiliation with the Santa Barbara Writers Conference. It was there I learned from literary legends like Ray Bradbury that when you love a writer’s works you should send them ‘love letters,’ Mr Bradbury’s term of endearment for those letters of appreciation writers send to their mentors. I always have and before the internet and websites made this easy, it was a labor of love. Armistead Maupin’s Tale of the City series remain among my favorite. I read all as soon as each was published.
I came across this letter, a copy from my files, and knew instantly what I did wrong…several things….
Do you?
Please feel free to leave a comment. What’s wrong with this ‘love letter’ this writer did not see then as she sees today? Always learning, writers, and it takes time.
You asked for something before you offered anything ot developed any connection with the man.
I should have never asked..it was presumptive but then, naive writers tend to be….I was…as well as a wee bit too full of myself…also a writer trait….
Thanks for commenting Janet.
