[stylist] Writing a Story in the Form of Emails and Texts

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi All,
Awhile back, I had posted a fragment of a story in second person.  
I wanted to try this format.
I have decided to forgo this format, but keep with this story 
idea.  The main premise of it is that there are 2 friends, Emma 
and Kelly, who have attended the same training center, but are at 
different points of their lives emotionally.  One graduates first 
and they still stay in touch via texts, but I might start 
creating emails because you can't really tell a full story in a 
text.  (Well you can, but the other person would get bored).
So I was wondering your thoughts on a couple of things:
Do you recommend I use time stamps for all the texts, or does it 
not matter? Sometimes when the other person is busy it takes them 
a little while to respond.
For the emails, do you think I should always put each person's 
email adress at the top for the "from" and "to" field?
Thank you for your thoughts.
