I want everything (the outline, e.g.) Sent to me, not to Julia. I need to have it, physically (so to speak), as leverage. So please do create an outline that I can have and hold and talk to Julia about if necessary. Even if it's ultimately similar to the old one. OK?

I've finally gotten a general narrative out of Gregg. It's definitely a great story, but I don't see it filling more than one chapter, much less half the book, as Julia seems to want. Even if I could acquire more interesting, usable details from Gregg, I don't think it could be done. Gregg and I have agreed that we can compromise with Julia's intent to have the chapters go back and forth between Gregg and Anon by having the second chapter detail his life and then referencing other parts of his history in later chapters. As such, the outline would be largely the same as the one we've been working with. I'll talk to Julia about this and the outline when you give me the go-ahead; was thinking you wanted us to hold off until you've moved on contract as per your last e-mail.

Hey Barrett--

So what's the status of things? The outline (which you guys said would be ready last Monday) and, more generally, the time w Gregg. Was it productive?

Thanks,
Dan
