Do you ever write letters or notes to your family or friends? Should you choose, then you're a part of an unexpected revival. Based on news reports nike magista pas cher, retailers are reporting surprise improvement in stationery sales. Fountain pens, writing paper, writing sets and notelets are proving popular. John Lewis is simply one retailer a 79% every year rise in writing paper along with a 20% rise in 'Thank You" notelets. So what is responsible for this sudden resurgence in letter writing?

Clare Northwood a stationery buyer for that John Lewis group, believes the recession is playing its part for the reason that people are eating out less, entertaining both at home and then people are deciding to write thank you letters or notes. The view is that writing instructions is more personal than while using phone chaussure de foot mercurial or sending an e-mail. Now i am not sure that a letter actually is more personal than a phone call especially to say thank you. At least whenever you create a phone call you participate in an immediate two-way conversation and the person you're thanking can hear the sound and tone of the voice.

However, it seems that many people not only view it to be more personal, but also the opportunity to display their artistic talents by decorating paper and notelets and sending a thank you which is a mini piece of art! It appears some people goes to the lengths to become competitive!

So is it just adults who have taken to informal letter writing again? Apparently not. Based on Annette Sharpe, Managing Director of Bristol based Papernation, it seems that some parents are encouraging their children to write letters, because they see this as an easier way to improve their ability as a copywriter, without getting associated with their homework.

But will these rises in stationery sales crampon mercurial really result in a long-term revival in letter writing? I'm fairly sceptical. Some people may be temporarily tired of technology, but it's hard to halt the interest rate of change. Writing thank you notes, is one thing and perhaps much more of us will do it, but regularly writing long letters is one thing entirely different.

If you're writing letters, half the pleasure originates from getting a reply and yet you will find less and less people that are used to communicating by doing this. I have been writing letters 4 or 5 times a year for an aunt of mine for more than 4 decades and also have always enjoyed reading her replies, but simply recently we've swapped to exchanging emails at her request. At 82 she said the long informal letters we've so enjoyed was getting a bit much on her. Obviously I agreed, but it was with a tinge of sadness. However, I'm realistic there is no reason for writing informal letters regularly when the body else can't or doesn't want to respond.

What exactly should be within an informal letter? Well of course, it depends on who you're sending it to and also the reason behind writing the letter. There are a variety of tips available about 'the right way to do it'. My advice is ignore the majority of the advice. Writing informal letters isn't the just like having to write the kind of formal letters that you write for business or resume cover letters for jobs. Informal letter writing should be fun and not a burden. So long as the word what you use is appropriate for that receiver of the letter, it should just be seen as an opportunity to share news or interests with someone you're near to. Oh and don't get competitive about the quality of the paper!

What do you think? Do you think you will see a long term revival of informal letter writing?
