This is separate from my other topic please do not merge.

I'm writing a letter to someone (that has to do with our relationship) and its very difficult because there are a million different ways to say the same thing. So whenever I write down what I feel, I'm basically writing the same thing in so many different ways. Then I get stuck because I don't know which way to choose. I can't decide which of the many different ways to say it in.
Any ideas on how to make this easier?

Think of the way that makes more sense, gets what you're trying to say across easier, and the more meaningful way. Write whatever you're writing with your true feelings and interests, and include all important details.

Do a rough draft first.

Make a list of all the important things you want to say, and practise putting those things in sentences.

When you are happy that you have covered everything you wanted to say, then write it out and make any changes.

Do a finished writing, and you're all set.

Type it on the computer. That why you can backspace, cut and paste more easily, so you don't waste so much time. Once you're done, then you can copy the draft back onto a piece of paper or just send it by email.

That way, you save trees too!

The easiest way I have found to start a letter is to picture the person sitting in front of me and saying what I want to say out loud to him/her. When I find the words and phrasing that 'clicks', I write it down.

Just write it out, then go back through it and decide what you want to add or take out. Writing a letter is always hard but just give it a lot of thought

Ahhh, the good old days, when corny love letters were appreciated. Nowadays they make a video, with the cell phone no less, and send it as an attachment.
