Write away

My dear reader,

I love writing thank-you notes. The Morning News shows you, in six easy steps, how to write your own:

I’m not going to go all Miss Manners on your ass and get into the social intricacies and delicate situations that surround thank-you note writing, as I was taught that a solid thank-you note will transcend all complicated situations—and I have seen no evidence to the contrary.

There is a six-point formula to the proper thank-you: Learn it, know it, memorize it—and it will never fail you.

Check it out: “How To Write a Thank-You Note.” By the way, if any of you are also enthusiasts of the lost art of letter-writing, and wish to begin a postal correspondance with yours truly, let me know; I’d especially like to send and receive photo and/or art postcards, à la Griffin and Sabine, and I do have some lovely, yet neglected Crane’s stationery as well.

Oh, and yes, thank you for reading.

With fountain pen poised, I remain your humble blogger,
J.
