Thank you Peter,

I did actually get a response, but I haven’t replied to it yet. I’ll post it up soon. It’s a blanket response though, so many of the points I have raised remain are not addressed.

Very few, I’d imagine. Most of us get the point of NaNoWriMo.

The letter was beautifully written. If I was you, I wouldn’t hold my breath for a response, but if you get one let us know!

People write because they want to express themselves through the written word. Many writers are also avid readers. Many non-writers are also avid readers.

Personally I can’t write a novel to save myself. Writing my thesis is a hard enough challenge for me. I can however, happily sit for several days at a time with a good book. Recently when I moved house, people were complaining about how much stuff I had. What they didn’t realise was that the majority of those boxes were books. This doesn’t include the books I had to toss because of weather damage.

I’ve been reading since a young age. My sister would be in front of the tv or on the computer and I would be curled up on my bed with a book. There is a stack next to my current bed of books I need to get through. Yes, a movie is great entertainment for 2 hours but after that there’s nothing. A good book lasts for days.

So long as there are people out there writing, there will be people reading.
