Readers Write
It has always amused me to read the letters readers send in to the editors of magazines. Who are these people anyway; and why do they think anyone cares about their impressions of certain pictures or articles that have appeared in past issues?
Readers of magazines usually write to the editor to praise or complain about a past article or the accuracy of it. The reader of a teen magazine might write about how thrilling it was to read about like the latest boy band. Make up techniques are always something which get a lot of positive feedback, especially from the young male readers.
"Your article in the October 2005 issue of Amazing Scrapbooking took my breath away. The technique of twisting baby hair into shapes of body parts is one that I cannot wait to use at my next scrapbooking party. I have been saving the hair from all of my children and grandchildren for over 40 years, waiting for the right time and way to display it. My hat's off to you!"
"The picture of the restored '58 Rambler brought back fond memories of my '58 Rambler. It was "Bastard Pink" and my first car. The reclining seats were revolutionary for the time and helped me give many a young chick the time of her life... if you know what I mean."
"I enjoyed the recent article about raising squirrels for fun and profit. I would like to point out that you omitted a period at the end of the second sentence of the 40th paragraph, after the words 'Flying squirrels don't really fly'. The beauty of the imagery of one of these wonderful creatures on a glide path through a forest of magnificent Pig Hickory trees was marred by this oversight. Keep up the good work; and watch your profreeding."
Perhaps these folks are also the writers of blogs. After all, we keep writing these things, often with no readers and no feedback. Got to go. I just found a typo in this article about noodling for Electric Eels.
