Are you all pasting 50 pages or attaching? 50 pages is an awful lot to paste into an email... (I've had emails fail to send when they get too long, that's why I'm worried)

Form response - not right for her list.

EQ 3/1
EQ nudge 3/26 (because her month had been crazy per twitter, and because I had an R&R so my first 50 pages changed)
FR 4/4
Since you attach 50 pages, she told me in the email she loved my first 50 pages and couldn't wait to read the rest. ?? Hopeful, anyway.
