I guess she hasn't read The Circle by Dave Eggers yet? Give her a few more years.

I read that based on critical reviews. A non-original concept delivered in a 'meh' manner.

I'm a techie, not a literary critic. Else I'd have come up with something more eloquent than 'meh'.

Headline should be "Attention whore dictates letter to 7-year old daughter in a desperate bid to go viral..."

I have only ever written one letter before and that was to Father Christmas

Brilliant - certainly put a smile on my face.

Their handwriting is better than mine.

Headline should be "Attention whore dictates letter to 7-year old daughter in a desperate bid to go viral..."

Sadly, that was my first thought.

They should devise some sort of television programme which takes letters like the one above and makes them come true. Perhaps hosted by an avuncular man who hands out medals to the lucky children.
