What an interesting idea. I love it. A former girlfriend and I used to write long letters back and forth when we were living in separate cities for a time. In some ways letter writing is very challenging. Because we can say exactly what we mean, it's a challenge to craft the perfect words, but it also gives the opportunity for do-overs, which we don't get in real life. You never get the feeling when writing a letter of thinking of the perfect thing to say five minutes too late, which we often do in life, since you don't have to send it right away. I like this spin, because it injects more humanism into letter writing. Words can still be composed, but can be read or recited in a natural way, and there is no mistaking with what inflection a passage should be read. I'm sure we've all had the experience of sending a benign email or text, only to have the person who receives it completely misinterpret the meaning. Anyway, I'll look forward to recording my first e-Vox.
