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.
The United States Postal Service is overworked and under-funded.
I do get a lot of mail. I get a lot of foreign mail because my mail gets mixed with Emilio Estevez.
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.
I used to get, like, 2,000 letters a week at one point.
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 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.
