I wrote two fan letters of sorts today.
In both cases, I had to email someone else and hope the message gets to the actual recipient.
The first one is a message to a writer whose book is out of print. I want to get in touch with the writer and bring the book back to life, and even teach it. It's a book I am emotionally attached to, so writing the letter was kind of an intense experience. It made me think of my 17-year-old self, the person I was when I first read this book.
The second message was to a musician who lived in Spain and returned to Turkey. It's not a celebrity crush I have on him; it's just that something tells me I'm supposed to get in touch with him...like we'd actually be good friends if we could ever get in touch. Or something. Imagine getting an email that says something vague like this, and you're famous. Would YOU write back?
I don't care as much about the results. I tried to make contact, and that's all I really needed to do. Any response will be amazing, but I already feel good.
