Ask anyone. I'm the worst correspondent ever. It's not because I'm too lazy to write, but because I usually have second thoughts about what I've just written, try to preserve the letter or email for later revision, and then get frustrated and forget about it.

Letters unsent:

-To Judy, my former employer and benefactor

-To %%diary-armouredbear%%, the thought of whom has made me sad lately- it seems to me, sometimes, that the many failures of my own relations with and maybe expectations of other people are reflected in the collapse of our friendship, and while I normally blame him, I wrote an apologetic letter which I've since scrapped

-To %%diary-carbonbased%%, in response to a letter she wrote me a year and a half ago- I didn't know quite what to say, but tried, and did not send the letter

-To my parents

-To %%diary-floodtide%%- I keep forgetting to bring my copy of Discipline and Punish to work so I can send it to him

-Lost friends who have emailed me: Katherine, Robert, Tricia.

...and so many others.

The moral of this story is, not matter who you are, I probably think about you more often and fondly than you think I do.
