email drafts

whenever i write emails, i sometimes end up keeping several drafts.
i write one email. i stop.
then i start on a fresh email on the same topic.
if i can't end it, i stop. and start on another.
then another.
until i get one that i'm happy to send out,
out it goes.

it's much like writing a letter.
you start off, then find that it doesn't really sound quite right.
you discard the letter.
and start on a new one.

the only difference between letter writing and email writing
is that, the discarded paper drafts are in the physical bin.
the email drafts, i just leave them stacked in my draft folder.

why?
because though the topic is the same, the contents in each draft is different.
so are the style and emotions.
quite fascinating re-reading something i meant to discard,
to find that in that few minutes on the same topic,
it all came out different.
