I write a story as if it were a letter to someone and essentially, that's what you do

Dear Reader,

I write to you today as if this were a letter, a personal communication between us. In doing so, I am reminded of the great science fiction writer Theodore Sturgeon, who was known for his ability to connect with readers on a deeply personal level through his stories.

Sturgeon once said, “I write a story as if it were a letter to someone and essentially, that's what you do.” This quote speaks to the intimate nature of storytelling, the way in which a writer can reach out to a reader and create a bond that transcends the page. Sturgeon understood that writing is a form of communication, a way to share ideas, emotions, and experiences with others.
