I would like to write another book for children but I spend all my spare time just answering the letters I get from children about the books I have already written. So it looks like a hopeless situation unless you can start a movement in America called ‘Don’t write to E. B. White until he produces another book.’

Responding to a fan letter from a child in 1961, beloved author E. B. White captures something many of us in the era of email barrage can painfully relate to – what happens when the demands of communication begin to squeeze out our very capacity for creative work?

(One major step in the way of a solution – Chris Anderson’s Email Charter, which everyone should be using.)
