Could I ask you for checking short sentences

Was writing I wrote to you odd? -- Not right. Grammatically it could be fixed by putting "the" before "writing", but "the writing I wrote" is still awkward and repetitious. You can say "Was my writing odd?" or "Was the note/letter/etc. (that) I wrote to you odd?"

Thank you Mr.GPY very much for your concrete accounts.

"Isn't it lovely!"
"Wasn't it fun!"
"Haven't you grown!"

In those sentences negative and exclamatory forms are used for stressing positive expression. Am I right?
