The question on RWW this week is one I asked our authors. Love Letters: Have you received any or written any? Has any of your characters written or received any? Share if you dare or make up one to a special someone.
In this modern day of social media, love letters seem to be on 
the route to extinction like the dinosaurs. I met my future husband before he was due to leave town on a two week training with his employer. This was back in the day before cell phones or e-mail. Below is a copy of the snail mail letter I received while he was gone. It’s the closest thing to a love letter I’ve ever received. The year and his name were omitted to protect the innocent. 🙂
Although social media keeps us 
connected, it doesn’t usually inspire an environment for love letters. Also, a classic love letter used to be handwritten adding to the personal touch. Fonts can be so cold.
While researching for this post, I found Napoleon to be a naughty boy in one his love writings, mentioning his wife’s “dark forest” and firm breasts. While Richard Burton alluded to Elizabeth Taylor’s “special and dangerous loveliness.” Whatever that might have meant. 😉
Instead of shooting a miss you text to your nearest and dearest, next time why not text them a handwritten note as a picture! It may not be a true love letter, but it will be personal! Hope you have already visited Jenna Da Sie and will go on to visit Leslie Hachtel for their take on love letters.
