Do you still write letters?

Honestly I only do this to one of my friends. And only because she doesn't have a computer or email. And that is few and far between. I still send real cards though for birthdays and holidays. I sometimes write something in those. It doesn't really matter to me really if they email me or hand write me. :) Just words from a loved one is special. But I guess I would rather had an email cause I'd rather email back LOL.

Never use letter anymore :) the reason is too wasting time, because need longer time to write and waiting for the post man :D But if I send packages, I still write a short note... can we call it letter ?

lol i dont write manual letters at all since the internet come into existence though i still receive from universities that i have applied to. I think i would prefer an elctronic format to a manually written letter

yes i still do. i have some friends who still prefer to have snail mails than emails sent to them. i always find time to buy or make cards for people close to me. this mother's day, i'd definitely send one for my mom and on my friend's birthday, i'd also send one for her. i still find this more memorable and sweet compared to e-cards being sent through the net. when i send a letter, they can feel more that they are special to me and that i really find time to do simple things for htem.

i don't write letter that i actually send off to people, but sometimes i'll write a letter in my journal to a person who i'm having issues with. it's a big help in getting my emotions out and dealing with stress. that said, i think letter writing is a lost art and that people should make an effort to do it more often/

I don't write letters anymore, but I do send out postcards a lot. I know it's not as personal as letters, but it's something. :)

i love letter writing. it's my way of putting my hand, my brain and my heart as one, working together for one purpose... to send a personal touch to that person i am sending the letter, too. i do use computers and internet. we have it at home. i have a mobile phone to text or call if i want to. but i feel so great whenever i get to put my "hello. how are you" lines and more in a piece of paper, placed inside an envelope, pasted with stamps and being sent directly to the recipients home. i still write letters up to now. it might take longer before it gets to the person who will receive it... but i say, it's worth the wait after all.

Good question RebeccaLynn, I stopped writing personal letters about 5 years ago, the only letters write are applications for jobs or communications to targeted people at the place of work, otherwise, messages and mails are the in-things today!

Yes i still do write a letter for my mother and sister once in a while to make them feel special and happy because they love to read a letter atleast once in a while.

I still do write letters and use the postal service but its very rare compared to my correspondences eletronically. I used to be very good in letter writing those days but computer age and telephony has spoilt all that fun!

very rarely nowadays,though i should do it more often.most of my friends are online now,and in most cases it's just more conveniant. i do highly value written letters when i recieve them,and keep them also.

I used to be a man of letter but now with all the elctronic gadgets available, I can no longer write in a paper. I always used computers for my own convenience. I guess it 'is just the same. The contents are the same. And you write fater compared to writing it manually. Likewise you can easily delete if you use a computer or any gadgets.Goodluck!

Yes handwritten letters now do mean more to me because a person really needs to sit down and spend time on writing and going to the post office. I haven't written a letter for a long time and yesterday I received a handwritten letter from my love and I decided to sit down, pick up the old habit and return a letter to him.

When my fiance was studying in Kentucky, I would write him letters. They usually were two pages long, but they rambled on about how my day was. I had nothing going on in my life so they were very uninteresting. My mother, on the other had, would write letters to a relative of ours. He has no phone in his home so the only way to contact him is to send him a letter.

no i don't beleive in writing them........ we have many other means of communication that are very-2 fast and effective.....

I still do. =) Emails are quick and convenient, but lacks that 'personal touch' we get from traditional, hand-written letters. =) Have a nice day! =)

Hi! Yes. I love writing letters. It's the most personal way of conveying to someone that you care and think of them, no matter that life is so busy. Of course, with emails and sms, you could reach far and beyond within seconds. It has it's advantages especialy if the message to be relayed concerns an emergency. But I would still be writing letters and personalizing them with unique touches here and there even if it would be easier to just send ecards and stuff over the net. There's nothing like having a physical reminder of the person that means something to you. Thank you for this post. Have a great day. Happy posting!

Well, my last handwritten letter may goes back to 5 yrs ago.Yes,we now live in a world with internet and email.Most people do not write letters any more.But i do think if i can get a handwritten letter,i will be very pleased.

i rather send or receive most letters thru email. however if it was an intimate letter i rather it came thru snail mail. I guess having a letter physically would somehow feel different. I would feel that the person has put more effort and is more sincere. Then again, nowadays i think sms is most popular and fastest to get your message across.

I have not received paper letters for at least 5 years.when entering my university,in the first year,i received more than one hundred paper letters,and i wrote it in paper to reply.after registing e-mail,i am lazy and lazy,email becomes to take the place of paper letters.and my friends are the same as me,they send email to me to talk about something too.
