Don’t settle with just being angry. Evaluate what has happened since you wrote your letter to the editor.

There are a bunch of people in the world who would say that they were born with a certain talent. Some of them call themselves, and each other, poets and writers. Just to keep others out. It's bullshit. Anyone can write. But to get good at it, you need to practice. Get up early and sit in your chair, stop whining and write. Here are: Seven things you can write.

I've always wondered what people who write letters to the editor really want. Do they sit at their kitchen table and suddenly become angry over something that is unfair, wrong or annoying and then scribble 500 characters together to send to the nearest local newspaper? Are they happy then? Does whatever they’re irritated over go away when they see their letter to the editor in the newspaper? Do they think: "Now at least 123 people will read about how irritated I get when bus drivers are late."?

There should be a follow-up requirement. The newspaper that published the letter to the editor should call the writer in question after a month and check what's up. Where the person should answer the questions:

- What happened to my irritation since last time?

- How has the response been to my letter to the editor?

- What have I done to improve the situation?

This is a great opportunity to get people do more than just sit at home and write cowardly letters to the editor, and also to inspire things to help the world to level-up.
