Weekend Assignment #328: Fan Letters

Weekend Assignment #328: Fan Letters

How about a lighter topic this week? Let's talk about FAN LETTERS. I have never personally written one, because the one time I attempted to, it came off, well, sounding kinda weird! LOL. Apparently I have NO talent for them at all! Nope. Nope. Nope. But how about you? Have you ever written a successful FAN LETTER? If so, tell us about your experience. Did you hear back from the celebrity? Was it a positive experience? Tell us all about it.

Extra Credit: Write a one paragraph FAN LETTER to your favorite celebrity.

Here are the general guidelines for participating:

Participation list for Weekend Assignment #326: Beat The Heat!

Florinda...

My SoCal-native husband doesn't take heat very well, so when the temperatures go up, we go undercover and inside.

Anne...

At the end of the work day, I just want to open my sunroof for the cruise home.

Stephen...

Well, of course, I stay cool by being cool. Because I’m cool.

But enough about me.

Mike...

The best way for me to stay cool is to stay inside with the air conditioning cranked up. It may not be the most fun, but it's better than heatstroke. See, in the Chicago area when it gets hot, it gets humid.

Karen...

Our monsoon was due a couple weeks ago, so far it's mostly sweltery, and hardly rainy at all.

I enjoyed your responses very much! Thank you for your continued participation. I will be looking forward to your submissions this week!
