I wish people wrote and sent more letters.

Pam — Yes, I am based in the UK, though I must confess I have never considered whether I write with a particularly English / British voice. Other than that I write in the English language (allegedly).

I am guessing you are in the UK but do not write with a UK voice all the time– curious as to your background,

There is an idea about some sort of Unsent Letters — in a tangible form — germinating in my mind, it has to be said. Which is a bit unfortunate considering that it’s after midnight …

I should really charge you a whole five pounds for this idea. But you are my friend — so you can have it for free.

yes I think you should do it … a postcard or something that can be read {maybe you could tell us a secret or something} then passed on to another thinking soul.

Or maybe a letter, that can be added to as it gets passed around the universe?

Kate — Yes, the internet with stamps, and with handwriting, and with real paper, would be superb. Ever since I discovered email, I have always wanted the speed of that medium but with the tangible nature of a letter.

Timbo — Yes, I use word. Or TextEdit. But I feel the near-blindness of viewing black text on sheer white is part of the joy of suffering for one’s art. Oh yes.

Andre — How about one exclusive An Unreliable Witness letter which gets forwarded between as many people as possible? And eventually to Northampton?

I think maybe you should actually write a letter and send it out to the virtual people that gaze upon your site. Then they could send it on to someone else?

or failing that, I will just sit here, almost at the end of the Earth, eagerly awaiting your letter.

Did you know that you can change the screen in Word so that you have white words on a dark blue background. Then again this is dependant on you using Word, which you might not do.

I’ll see myself out shall I?

your words are beeped and blathered out into the atmosphere of this planet, being beamed around to whoever reads it, wherever they are in the world…a sort of similar journey (albeit a little faster) than a postal delivery.

the internet with stamps would be excellent.
