I’m a husband, a father of two, a full-time teacher, and so my writing process mostly involves sitting down and writing, any chance I get, anywhere I am, for as long as life will let me. Music helps. Good light helps. I love quiet and coffee when I can get them. But I can write on a bus, in a dentist office’s waiting room, in bed with a clip-on booklight, almost anywhere. And I try to do at least some every single day. Glen Hirshberg
About This Quote

When we love someone we want to be with them. We want to be close to them and enjoy spending time with them. We also want them to embrace us and care for us, we do not want them to leave us. It is quite natural for us to write our love letters and send them to the one we love.

After all, writing is a way of expressing ourselves and letting them know how much we love and care for them. If we do not receive any response from the one we love then that would leave a bad feeling in our hearts. In this quote, the author is saying that even if he does not have any time or opportunity to write letters to the one he loves, he must still write about his feelings for his loved one as a way of expressing his love for her.
