I'm certainly getting a lot more mail... that's basically it.
Over the last couple of years I have gotten an average of 2,000 letters a week from fans.
I get over a hundred letters a day from all over the world, from children and parents, and it's a wonder I ever have time to write books, let alone speak!
Now I have to have the biggest P.O. box in the entire post office to get all the manuscripts coming in.
I do get a lot of mail. I get a lot of foreign mail because my mail gets mixed with Emilio Estevez.
The United States Postal Service is overworked and under-funded.
The Postal Service delivers mail six days a week to nearly 140 million addresses. Every year this number increases by 2 million.
I get letters. I get several a week, I think. A lot of people want a picture, a lot of people just want an autograph.
Other writers tell me about these bushel baskets delivered at the front door. If I've gotten 50 letters over the last 18 years, I'd be surprised.
I used to get, like, 2,000 letters a week at one point.
I did have a literal shed of fan mail once. It was literally filled with, like, 25 of those giant mail cartons.
I receive more fan mail from the females.
The United States Postal Service has a problem. People aren't sending as much mail as they used to. That means less postage revenue and difficulty paying the bills.
I get about three letters a day from all over the world.
