I’m not sure. Is it the long time it takes to write a good letter, or the fear of baring too much? I know I’m not the only one feeling that way:
“I have owed you this letter for a very long time-but my fingers have avoided the pencil as though it were an old and poisoned tool.”
John Steinbeck

“Even when I have to write a simple letter I’m scared stiff as if faced with looming seasickness.”
Gustav Klimt

“You will no doubt expect a long letter after so much delay, but I am afraid you will be disappointed, as long letters are not my forte.”
William J. Wills

“Honest honey, I feel like crying every time I sit down to write you a letter… I am so unlucky.”
Eddie Slovik
And another one, amusing but so true:
“I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter.”
Pascal
