To be honest, I can see where your idea of the app is coming from... but what’s the point? Wouldn’t it be just yet another piece of self-aggrandising performance art in this already totally narcissistic age?

One writes to leave one’s mark. One writes well because one recognises the importance of presenting one’s thoughts in an aesthetically pleasing manner — a manner that in a certain sense ‘costs’ the writer a great deal because it implies maintaining discipline and order. One sends letters because one wishes to make an effort to avoid the transient and facile nature of modern electronic communication — and because in a certain sense one wishes one’s communication to be ‘timeless’ and transcendent. How does filming oneself writing and sending it actually fit into this?
