[stylist] writing prompts, welcome, and facebook

[Eve Sanchez]

Chris, Thank you. We will be patient with you if you will be patient with
us. :) I myself love the way you did it. Just the one person coming up with
an idea each month created a variety that is not the same when done by
many. Be safe with Sandy. That is the priority, but we will wait to hear
from you when it is over.   As for FB I believe people are talking of that
as an additional venue. I myself, like others, do not want to do a project
on FB though I would get involved by occasionally looking at it. I love
email and find it so much easier to navigate. What I liked most about your
prompts were the subject matters that we put into our own creative
formulas. Let's keep it simple and all get active in responding to you and
it will be successful. Thanks again, Eve
