Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

I love receiving letters, cards and postcodes.

Often received; if written by someone on holiday; days after that person has returned home.

Use this space however you like as though you are writing a letter to someone with whom you relate to in real life.

You might want to say something to that person, or persons and not be given the opportunity.

Families can be so very judgemental and cause much hurt and pain.

This is a way of writing to tell someone how you truly feel; good or bad.

Just read along if this is not your style.

Carry on with your own preference of using the forums.

This is just an idea.

Sometimes we do not know that we might enjoy something different unless we try.

Writing letters can be very therapeutic and a special way of releasing pent up feelings without the person knowing.

Lastly, in writing a letter, you need not put their name or title.

You might like to address the letter as dear friend, or dear family member; dear doctor; dear psychiatrist; dear pet.

Think outside of the square and write about what you would really like to say.

Good luck

Sophia

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

An interesting twist...

@Oaktree

Vanessa looks very confident and ready to face her challenge..

It was good that the professor was expecting you...along with someone else it seems...he did say we didn't he..

I wonder who else knew as he did not have conversations with the little girl without a name...

Sending a postcard back @Flax

well spotted....

The lack of activity I believe is because of my latest hurried dash from the forums...leaving confusing messages..

I am relieved and pleased that stories are continuing..

this thread is to be shared..

The fact that none of them relate to each other to me makes it more thrilling..

It is my turn to be rather unwell and in a darkish place...so writing sparingly..

yes this is sparingly..

No novels for now....

New friends are welcome in the story...might not remember their names..

Do remember Sooty.. and Sooty is here to stay we all hope..Sooty can bring back any friend whom he wishes to...reminds me of myself when I was young...bringing home stray friends...

don't wait in line...

jump in..

I can see across the grassed land out to the woodlands...then when I climb back down the very winding staircase; sneak through a tunnel; I find another very winding staircase...

I learn that this is the way to access each turret...

I am in seventh heaven..."

Excellent! - I love Secret Tunnels & Hidden Entrances (in Stories).

This Reminds me of The Famous Five by Enid Blighton....

They were always finding Secret Tunnels & Hidden Entrances....

write when you have something to add no matter whether it fits in with the current story or not..

if you struggle..

write a sentence..

let's go back to school...oh no how boring...let's not do that...

let's make up our own rules...which we have done already ...haven't we..

write :

hello sooty, Little Bee, gumnut baby, horrace, the cook,Vanessa, the professor....don't forget me...little girl without a name..

at the beginning..

I am off now...starting to write gibberish.

please leave something for me to find when I return..

from

The little girl without a name who is fascinated with a picture of a selkie fowld ....found in a very large dusty book...carried down to the antique desk with the help of her close friend Horrace...the book then left on the desk within the library...

@Sophia1

Sounds like your in that dark place where we live in cave and just try to get by hour by hour. And it is so painful.


When I'm in that dark cave, I can't do much...so don't worry about coming up with stuff for the thread. Have you considered being important to this thread might be stressful? I have - I get stressed about Sooty stories - meaning having to 'perform', and create a Sooty adventure. Maybe your a little bit the same. Even writing on an anonymous forum pushes my stress levels up.

I think I actually get where your coming from with 'virtual post' idea. You love random experiences from friends and what they are up to. Sort of takes your mind away from a painful reality. And getting forum notifications gives you something to look forward too.


Sooty has a litle plan if his friends need cheering up...


Will leave you with an ancient maxim, I think its Persian..."This too shall pass"


I think what I'm trying say is don't fret or stress about this virtual post thread. It will just meander along in its own way: sometimes active and sometimes not.

Wow - you got 5 flowers...lol.

That Dark Cave (place) with Little Light - Is a place that I'm very familiar with.

I've spent much of my time in there (unwillingly).

Made worse by living on my own for so long (11 years) - When social connections are my greatest source of meaning & fulfilment in life.

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

@Adge Love the Famous Five reference.

@Sophia1 This is and will always be a beautiful thread idea.

@Flax Your stories are wonderful and would take time and/or emotional energy. I like your wisdom about partaking in this thread as well.

@Oaktree Can I morph into a spider on the wall during your lessons/sessions?

Hope nobody is scared of spiders?

Miss Vanessa and the Dinner

Vanessa looked at her watch. It was a quarter to six. She decided to set off to look for the dining room as she didn’t want to be late for dinner on her first night and make a bad first impression. As she walked down the corridor she looked out of the windows. She could see the woodlands behind the castle. She couldn’t wait to get out there, back into the fresh air. The castle had a bit of a mustiness about it. She supposed that came from age. The carpets were beautiful but a little dusty. They could do with a jolly good vacuum. There were portraits lining the walls of the corridor of men, each with a little nameplate and description underneath. She made a mental note to come back later and inspect each of these more carefully. She made her way down the curved staircase and back through the grand foyer. She walked through the first room which was a beautiful reception room and when she opened the door at the other end found herself in the dining room. The dining table was long and made of dark coloured wood. At each place setting there was an impressive looking chair. The Professor was already seated at the head of the table and he motioned to her to have a seat near him. The little girl came bouncing in happily and took her seat at the table. “Hello young lady! I am Miss Vanessa and we are going to be great friends.” Vanessa said to the little girl. The little girl nodded but didn’t talk or make any eye contact. “What is your name?” asked Vanessa. At this point the professor interjected. “She doesn’t have a name.” he said. Puzzled, Vanessa looked at him quizzically. The professor went on… “Well you see, ten years ago there was a knock on the castle door. By the time I had gotten there the person had left and there was just a baby wrapped in a blanket left on the doorstep. I kept thinking someone would come back for her so I didn’t think I needed to give her a name so I just never did! Now I don’t see why we should impose a name on her.” “I see.” said Vanessa. With that cook bustled in with big serving platters on a trolley. There was roast chicken, vegetables, potatoes and gravy. The food was delicious and Vanessa enjoyed her first meal with the strange Professor and the little girl with no name.
