WRITING

I'm writing to to express my gratitude for giving us this truly wonderful story, after having watched the new film for the third time this evening. I recall the first time I ever saw the show, flipping through the channels one late Friday night after I should have been in bed. I came across a massive semi-truck sitting in the middle of a darkened highway in the woods, its hi-beams blinding a couple of mysterious looking federal agents. The agents stepped out of their rental car and walked to the back of the truck, climbing inside to find the remnants of an horrofic alien testing lab. That image, everything from the music to the lighting to the reaction on Scully's face, still haunts me. The next time I found the guts to watch an episode, Mulder was leaping onto a speeding train which contained what he believed to be a real, live alien. At that point, I was fully and completey hooked. I never missed an episode of the show, and have since gone back to watch each and every one over, over, and still over again. Never have I felt so strongly about anything than I did, and do, about your little spooky television series, so much so that I started writing my own - granted it was on looseleaf and written in scribbled red ink at the back of my Ever since I discovered the series, and every other 1013 project ever since, I've known I wanted to be a writer; I wanted to do what you do, and still do. I'd like to thank you from the very bottom of my heart for helping to create this little cultural phenomenon known as "The X-Files." I still watch the show, and will enjoy it for years to come, but I now have the opportunity to create my own little phenomenon in the new book I am writing. Because of you, Chris, and every other member of the 1013 team, I know what it is I want to do with my life and someday, I hope, I will have the sheer delight of trying to make you feel the same way about something that I create.
Thanks for believing...and don't give up!
