I do not have this urge so take it with a grain of salt. Perhaps: 1. First, sleep on it and let the urge fade away. 2. For the remaining urges, 2.a if the urge actually turns out to be an urge about writing and not so much about communicating, write a blog. Perhaps one that you don't even tell your friends & family about, if it is really about setting things down on 'paper'. Or one you tell them about and they will or won't read. 2.b as others have said, e-mail, if that's more about communication. Communication which will happen or won't; in my experience people rarely answer when there is no explicit question in a message (and even then, hem...), but that depends on people I guess.
