How that last post was about Christmas Letters? I don't know. I was just thinking, a few weeks back, about how Christmas letters have become something I enjoy writing, for the following reasons:
- they confirm our existence, or the illusion thereof
- they give me/us a chance to reminisce;
Then it occurred to me that writing in general has that same effect on me, and these blogs people faithfully keep up are probably done for similar reasons. Although I know there are news blogs and literature blogs and stuff like that...and I'll probably mention some of that sometimes, but for my money (and this blog is free, of course) I'd just assume write (and read) about people's casual thoughts and connect them to this mystery being human.
So, maybe you'll get the letter I wrote for Christmas in the mail soon. After Christmas, probably.
