A love letter to a stranger…

I am written a letter to a celeb and do not know exactly what to write this is what I got so far however, I need it to be less fanish but not creepy.

Hi, this is “my name”, we met a couple years ago at a concert in “___”. Where you invited me backstage and I gave you a painting. A friend gave me your address awhile back, but I never knew what to write so I pushed it aside. I was going through some papers the other day and stumbled upon it and decided it would not hurt to say hi.
I was so nervous the night I met you, I had a semi black eye from my dog and cut myself shaving the day before. Needless to say it was pretty cool and an honor to give you my first painting.

(I waited to sell/give any of my artwork away until I gave my first piece to someone that meant something to me. So that part probably needs rewarding.)

And I know she gets a lot of fan art and paintings however she’ll know who I am and what I am talking about even though its very simply stated.

I wouldn’t say she is a “stranger” however she is, if that makes sense.

Any suggesting as to what else to write to give it something more… (I really like her)

Im not sure, but you better be carful, im sure you dont want to become a stalker… you cant really like her that much unless you actually knew a lot about her from herself. google up the difference between infatuation and love just to see the definitons and get an idea of what your doing. No offence of course, just telling you so things wont get bad later.

Lmao I know the difference I am 20… She wont think anything bad (stalker) but I don’t want to just come off as a sweet guy fan if that makes sense.

Yeah… but the difference is hard to tell at times =P

love = accepting flaws
infatuation = ignoring flaws or not knowing someone well enough making them seem perfect

It doesnt sound bad though. Maybe you could add “too bad I hang out with you longer back then, would have been nice to get to know you” that shouldnt come off creepy because your talking about the past, if you say you wish for it now then it would sound stalker like.

what about this?

I was so nervous the night I met you, I had a semi black eye from my dog and cut myself shaving the day before. Needless to say it was pretty cool and an honor to give you my first painting. It was a little rushed, but I hope you liked it.
Hopefully you will play a show near me in future, because I would love to see you again.
I wish you the best and hope all is good.

id say
omit this part right here
I was so nervous the night I met you, I had a semi black eye from my dog and cut myself shaving the day before.
it might come off as a lil weird
and it also is talking mainly about u
wich i dont think she might care about lol
no offense
but itsa letter written to her
sayin hi
focusin on her?
and ur painting?
so.. im almost positiv she wont care about that
tho it might not come off as weird either
its rely up to u
and.. idk about the last line
maybe id say something like
“i wanted my first peice of art to b given to someone [amazing? special? awesome? watever fits… lol]”

Dear _____,

Hi, this is _______, we met a couple years ago at a concert in _________. Where you invited me backstage and I gave you a painting. A friend gave me your address awhile back, but I never knew what to write so I pushed it aside. I was going through some papers the other day and stumbled upon it and decided it would not hurt to say hi.
I would love to see you again. I wish you the best and hope all is good.

I was pretty nervous the night I met you, but I am glad we did. Until that night I had never let a work of art go, I wanted someone special to receive that first piece…

I would love to see you again. I wish you the best and hope all is good.

to.. I was pretty nervous the night we met, but I am glad we did.
why? becuz its more talking about her/ the both of u rather then just u
and also it fits better with this part here: but I am glad we did.
lol.. im jus kind of a perfectionist
im sure it hardly matters at all, so go ahead nd ignore this if u want XP
