I write letters to Ellen DeGeneres. Why? Because I Can!
Today is day six of the Writer’s Digest October 2015 platform challenge and I’m still going strong. For today’s challenge, we had to create a twitter account and tweet something. I’ve had my twitter account for a few years, so all I did was send off a tweet, comment on the WD blog post and then I was done.
Also today, I wrote another letter to Ellen DeGeneres that I posted on reddit. This time I posted it on the Ellen DeGeneres subreddit page. I received one upvote and no comments. I’m okay with that.
Without further adieu, here is my letter to Ellen.
Dear Ellen,
Yesterday I wrote a letter to you and posted it in the “funny” section of Reddit. I received two comments. One person said I was funny. The other person said I wasn’t. Oh well.
Today, I’m posting this letter on your Reddit group. Maybe I’ll have better luck here.
Dear Ellen (Yes, I’m addressing you again. It’s the start of a new letter and I felt it was appropriate.)
Yesterday evening my husband returned home from work to find that the kids and I were still in our pajamas from this morning. He asked me what I did all day. I told him, “I kept the kids alive and drank coffee. Isn’t that enough?”
Apparently it wasn’t because the next words out of his mouth were, “What’s for dinner?”
Why am I the only person in this house who knows how to order a pizza?
Sincerely yours,
A. Marie

I know someone who had seven kids. Then all the kids left home and the mother started volunteering with a charity organization. One of her daughters, who is working, posted this comment on her Facebook page, “Mama, I am so happy that you are now working.” And what do you think she was doing when she raised seven kids. So, mothers again.
