Love Letter/Apologies

Here you acted as a good Samaritan jenny - good going there!

WOOHOO- nice going! you did your friend a real service,with that letter. There are circumstances where such things are the right thing to do, and that is one of them.

There was no reason for my friend to be betraying her husband. The only fault I see is that his husband doesn't earn that much. Well, he works in the government, what does she expect, right? She was earning about $4,000.00/month from the business of her sister and she feels that her husband needs to be earning more than that. Her reason was off and I had to really speak to her in the most subtle way so that she can realize how wrong she is.

when it comes to the writing business, as someone once said-- "only a fool writes accept for money". As to the whole circumstance, being humane as I am, I DID agree to write: This gentleman (and he is one, actually), is great with business, and with people-- and he is dyslexic, so I write business letters, proposals for companies, quarterly reports etc. for him, and have written many letters for him to his fiance-- things he tells her but also wishes to write down. She has in the past written to me and thanked me for putting his thoughts into poetry-- because I am one heck of a poet. In this case, he has been speaking to her since the event (which was NOT an affair or anything), but as he put it, he is too close to the situation, and to frightened and hurt, to be able to express himself in a way that might not be hurtful-- to HER. As she is aware I write for him in a professional capacity, and she agreed to accept a letter from me, I wrote one-- using his words, and his feelings. While there are plenty of love letter services out there-- you can get paid 10.00 or more for a love letter, or poem, I personally would not under ordinary circumstances write one for someone. I have written general love poetry for greeting cards before-- several of my poems have been used by Blue Mountain in the past-- and I have published love poetry in small presses, but I haven't written love poems for individuals (unless you count Mother's Day poems....). The situation just got me thinking. My other half writes the occasional love note to me, and I have written them to him as well.. but someone must be buying love letters, otherwise there wouldn't be a market to sell them. I was just wondering.

Before I comment on your response, did you know that you can now use myLot codes which you see on the left of your activity? You have now a user rating of 200!! Since you say that this lady does not mind getting 'ready made' love letters you are a liberated soul! But under normal circumstances no one would want a third party to be a partner in expressing feelings for each other!

It just occurred to me. There is a software that creates articles/letters in a jiffy. I have seen that software being used somewhere. May be lover letters too?!

I have mixed feelings as to how it would be to receive a letter written by someone else that's a love letter-- on one hand, like you said, it shows someone cares. On the other hand, while I treasure my love emails, cards and notes from my other half, I treasure his treatment of me far more-- the little things he does every day show me he loves me, even if he doesn't put it in writing often enough. It must be cool to write first online date letters-- I can't imagine doing it myself, though I probably could. No one has ever asked me to. I have written profiles on dating sites for people before, but just because I can phrase things well, and am very descriptive.

He has told her-- but because he is too close to the issue, and too scared (and I have been there myself), he wasn't sure how to put it to clearly state his position without hurting her. She knew I was writing to her on his behalf, and I have put his words and feelings into poems before-- so she does understand that. I still don't know what she will do with what he told her, through me-- she did write ME back, and say she was thinking about things, and thanked me for putting it in words. He is actually very intelligent-- he just can't write (disability) and when he gets emotional, he gets "tongue tied". Laboring under a disability on a daily basis can make it difficult sometimes-- I know, because I live with my problem daily as well.

Oh, I've just read your response... well, it answers some things. But why doesn't he tell her this? Or why doesn't he tell you what he wants to write down? It would be then the clearest.

I actually was proud, and flattered-- I do most of his other personal correspondence, and all his business stuff anyway-- his friends and family know I write for him, his bosses don't LOL. He's more than smart enough to do his job, itself-- he just can't write. Dyslexia is a horrible condition to have.

I can agree with that-- I want my other half to take the time to put it in words for me. But then again, not everyone can really talk about how they feel, so in some cases a letter could possibly open up a conversation, so they could say how they feel.

I have never done so before, but this was a special case. I have sold more than one love greeting card verse over the years, as well as mother's day, father's day, condolence and thinking of you poetry. The greeting card industry i one of the few that pays for poetry-- though not much LOL.

She knows I wrote it for him, actually-- because he can't write understandable things, he is dyslexic. If my other half couldn't say what he felt for me, but I knew they were his feelings, the handwriting on the letter (in this case the typing) wouldn't matter to me. But I do agree I would be upset if I found out my loved one's words weren't his own, just someone else's.

I still have the love letters, cards and emails my other half has sent me over the years-- we exchange love emails all the time when we are apart as well. It's nice to read back through them and see what they say-- lots of warm fuzzies.

If the circumstances weren't special, I wouldn't have written one-- but she is aware I am writing it in this case for him. I personally hope none of the love letters I have received were ghost written-- but yes, you can get paid for writing them. Look it up online, if you feel you would like to write love letters. I, since I wouldn't want to receive one not written by my love, don't write them for other under normal circumstances.
