The text of the postcard is

Dear Ellen,

I’ve got an idea for a great tragicomedy: The Riding Writer. It’s about an author who is also a cyclist. At some point someone asks the Riding Writer for advice for young writers and The Riding Writer hears “rider” … See?

So the answer is “butt cream.”

Funny stuff huh? For the tragedy part I’d say the Riding Writer rides a unicycle. We can team up to write the script if you want. Halvesies on the profits?

Dear Ellen,

If my fiancé decides she would like us to write our own vows I am just going to describe this postcard’s picture, as though it is her and me on the cover.

“And in the hazy distance were stallions … And ducks.”

Now THAT’S romance!

Dear Ellen,

Perspective is a funny thing. If I told my 13 year old self, “one day you will send one postcard per week to someone in an oddball attempt to get noticed/published,” my 13 year old self would roll his eyes and chuckle. If you told your 13 year old self, “one day you will receive one postcard a week from a strange man you’ve never met,” your 13 year old self would say, “oh I hope I have literary agents as friends!!!!” If not, I may be making a mistake …
