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

[Shelley Alongi]

Hello I have seen this done before in a book and I did not see timestamps or email addresses on the responses. I think I would not put in a timestamp on any of the messages unless we absolutely needed to know that because of what is happening.

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).
