Good news! Michael has begun writing his first fictional book. His writing sample that I received was excellent, and I will include a link to a small excerpt from the three pages that he sent. He is a natural writer, and I did not realize that he enjoyed reading until recently. When he gets released, he will be well on his way to becoming self-sufficient as an author. On a separate note, I spent (ten dollars) $10.00 with change.org to get exposure to 1000 potential viewers, but I did not see a real difference in viewership nor signatures. With that said, I do not see a need to duplicate promotional efforts again assuming that we will get the same results. I think there's too many petitions out there, and my wording for this petition may be too regionally specific. Regardless, thank you for your continued support and the sharing of our efforts to #exonerateMichael. On 12/5/2016, the prison mail agent signed for the Lawsuit paperwork to be delivered to Michael to finish completing. Hopefully, they will get it into his hands by this week. We want to get it filed before Christmas 2016. Happy Holidays! Enjoy the sample reading attached!
