Simply write. Get it down on paper. Then edit over and over. On internet, I find my best editing is done within a few microseconds after I hit "send now" when it's too late to correct that typo. LOL. The most precious letters in my files (well over a hundred hand written letters) are from those who allowed me to see them as they were, writing from the heart, sharing their lives and times. Errors and all. To err is human and my gosh, we're all human. Be kind. Be grateful people are writing. Maybe you'll find a precious cuzzie who can't spell but can tell you all about your great great grandparents' lives. Shirley Maynard Hampton, VA
