not that anon but unique posters? maybe like 250/day. i mean there's only 8000 posts per day on this board. even if there were only 20 posters, that's like ~17 posts/hour/person (each of the twenty people posting every 4 minutes, 24/7) which is unlikely. there are not very many people here, compared to what it feels like.

Should you know literary theory before making literature nowadays? Can someone well-versed in literary theory be a good writer or does too much self-consciousness muddy the artistic waters?

way too verbiose and the prose is boring and not very interesting (or consequently memorable). it has some good qualities though. the first line is very to-the-point but i think *really, really* is a bit needless. you're putting all your cards and balls on the table which is reasonably scary to nearly any girl even if they might have the capacity to like you back. then the
>I have liked you since we were together [...]
paragraph is boring as fuck

then the
>needless to say [...]
paragraph is completely pointless biography

then the
>i understand if you [...]
is a good sentiment (i wanna be straightforward, this is how i feel, no hard feelings, etc) but again too verbiose and also then you just descend back to boring fucking restating what youve already said

then the
>i know letters like this [...]
paragraph starts alright i guess, but then you just restate the idea you tried getting across in the last paragraph aka boring

i personally wouldn't use sincerely yours either but thats a personal nitpick. id probably use regards, or even just "yours". i think its better to be a bit more neutral or elliptical in the ending. its a lot for a girl to read a love letter i wouldnt want to make her more nervous than she needs to be. my prose should speak for itself
