But isn't this letter to my Niece Donna redemption? Can I say her first name? Some social transparency is required? Although, some need privacy and in a civil society, privacy is allowed? Donna won't care though.
Sheer happiness will fill me if she writes back anything, anything, and by September 1st. And Donna gets to learn that if you fall in love with the writing creation, your creations only improve, over countless hours. If you love it, who counts the hours?
To Donna, via a recent email exchange:
"I just hope you know the keyboard because if you have to worry about time and typing, you're in trouble. But you do, don't you? I remember seeing you do it.
Okay, write a story that's anywhere from 50 to 5000 (the shorter probably the better for kids script). What you write first will be fun, because, you're not finished! You have time to go back and make it better! And you'll never have to worry about boredom again! You think about your characters; their lives are juicy, as in interesting.
Open a Word document and send me what you have by September 1st, please. "But," he said. But's are for losers.
Auntie Sheila"
Oh yeah, and I learned/am learning from your Uncle John.
