Rachel Kadish in a Ploughshare's blog says we live in an age of instantaneous deletion. The delete key is our friend. That is for sure. But I'm of an age when paper got crumpled into a waste basket overflowing on the floor, then used to start the fire in the fireplace. She is sweetly nostalgic, but I truly love spell check.
Because we write to be heard or read, Rachel says all writing is essentially an unrequited love letter. Were it so simple.
