I know you’ve been jonesin’ for more Children’s Letters to Raven-Symone, so here’s another batch of them. I’ll try to post them more often so we can get caught up.
Basic background: I registered symone.raven@gmail.com and posted it on this blog, specifically saying it is NOT Raven-Symone’s e-mail address and that it IS my e-mail address. I was working under the assumption that people would ignore the disclaimer and use the address to write to Raven anyway. I was right.
Deeper background: Click the “Children’s Letters to Raven-Symone” category and read the earliest entry.
