Writing letters

i wrote letters to my friends but sometimes those letters are discarded. but i was touched by the magazine august issue of reader's digest where carmel valencia is still writing some letters to her family and friends. she's a young woman who rediscovers the joy of receiving letters the old - fashioned way. as what she said, I'm doing my part in keeping a vanishing art alive.

I love writing letters.Texting is something I don't like.It seems too dry and mechanical lacking the cordiality that a hand written letter has.With the advent of computer and cellphones,writing letters has become a thing of the past and only a handful of people write them.The other day our postman told us the post office now receives a much fewer number of letters now.I,for one,still love writing letters.

I haven't written a letter by hand in years. I email and I poke friends on Facebook. I think this is a nice way to say 'hi' and stay in touch. I do miss the mailman bringing me letters from friends and my grandmother. I didn't save a one of them. Would love to look at one now and remember.

During the time when the cellphone was not yet here, I write letters to my friends and anybody I wish to. Writing love letters was one of my practice and that's how I became a husband. Some friends would also come to me to have their love letters made. lol

Hi, Camomile, like you I also moved to another country and for a year or more I regularly wrote and received letters. After that the post box yielded letters from friends less often and now,after 6 years, the only people I still keep in touch with have been those on the internet. Some of us do so via via Skpe too and that is better than an email. There is one exception to this, a friend who has no email and enjoys writing letters. We met at a writing class. She says I am the only person who ever replies to her letters. She writes her heart out and I keep her letters in a special file. As a result of this we both look forward to getting one another's letters, we usually write two or three times a a month. I have got to know her much better than when we lived in the same village.

i think we should cope with technoloy.writing letters was a tardition and good and acccording to emotions but there are other problems like time delay and problems in postal service.skype and email provide you instant communication.no doubt letters have their own charm but if you want to discuss something important the it is neccessary.

Sometimes I miss the time when I wrote and received lots of handwritten letters. When I was a teenager I had lots of penpals from around the world. I loved writing to them and receiving their letters. We talked a about a lot of things in our letters and we exchanged thoughts, experiences and information about our countries. When I got back to my home I always hoped that there was a letter for me in the mailbox and I was very happy when I discovered that one of my penpals that sent me a letter. I also exchanged letters with my friends from my own country and I was also very happy to hear from them. Today I don't write letters by hand anymore and I keep in touch with friends via emails instead. Emails are faster, cheaper and easier, but sometimes I miss the old handwritten letters.

yes one can't help but miss those times when we were counting days expecting to receive responses for letters we sent. But modern technology have put a stop to this.

My boyfriend went into army basic training the beginning of May and for 10 weeks that was the only way he could talk to me. It was pretty neat getting letters because they were something I could read over and over again. But I missed always hearing his voice and getting calls from him. Writing letters is nice, but I also like to actually talk on the phone as well.

Yeah, I miss those too. The only letters I hand write these days are notes to my sons' teachers when they are absent or late for school... And the only hand written letters I receive through the mail are greeting cards from my sister overseas...

I used to collect letters and put it in my shoe box. But now, I don't receive any letters from my loved ones, instead loaded in my emails. I missed receiving formal letters.
