Writing for Wednesdays Continued...
I figured since I was talking so much about Authors I should give a sample of an email I received from one of my favorite authors, Weezie Kerr Mackey. She is such an amazing author and get this she is just starting out as one. If you have any interest in learner more about this new author please visit her at www.weeziekerrmackey.co
In my opinion this is one of the most amazing emails I have ever received and read. I am sorry that the emails are in such a weird format. I couldn't make them look any better than they did when I tried to fix them so I left them the way they are.
This is one of the emails I sent her:
