Hi there,

I am reviewing this piece for: Header for The Gift Shop This review is part of the gift basket from "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. that ~A.J. Lyle~ Author Icon bought for you.

I do not claim to be an expert in writing or reviewing. Therefore, these are just my opinions and you may feel free to use or discard them.

Title and Description:
I love the title of this because I don't think I'd ever thought of letter writing as an art. But I suppose you're right, writing a engaging letter is an art. So, it seems, you've made me think just by your choice of title!

The best bits and my overall thoughts:
My first observation is that this item is full of questions. Therefore, you are spending the whole article inviting your readers to think and consider their choices. All too often we, as a society, look for the easy option. it is easier to text than it is to send a letter. Thus, the majority of us will just send a one line text. As such, I love the way you challenge this way of thinking and invite others to change.
I also like the fact that you have written in a conversational tone. So, whilst you are challenging your readers, you do so in a way they will feel comfortable with. As a result, the reader will be more likely to agree with you because you are not forcing it on them or preaching. Clever work! *Wink*

Improvements or corrections:
I do not have many things to point out here. The things I do point out are just my opinion so not to be taken as gospel.

*Flowerw* Here: “Big news, small news, the sort you'd share…” – I think you need an ‘and’ to indicate the last item on a list. Like so: “Big news, small news, and the sort you'd share…”

I really enjoyed reading this item and I hope my comments have helped a little; at least. Thank you very much for the read. I hope I get the opportunity to read more of your work at some point soon.
