Welcome

It struck me recently that in today's age of "txting" and e-mail, the love letter has sadly fallen by the wayside. No more do you find the tortured lover hunched over a littered desk, placing feelings on paper before they consume him entirely; no more does she feel the smooth parchment and split the red sealing wax to be washed over with poetry and raw emotion.

In an effort to bring back some semblance of chivalry, even in electronic form, I propose a campaign. Take a minute and write a love letter. It can be to a real lover, to one you hope to meet in the future, or to one you've lost along the way. All I ask is that it be a genuine expression of what's in your heart.

So let's start something lovely: send your letters to submit.writtenbycandlelight@gmail.com and I'll post the best ones periodically. Be as personal or as anonymous as you like and let's see if we can make a change. Let's see if we can show the world how to love again.

Thanks, and get to writing!
David
