Julia & Katie--
I'm attaching a chapter break-down representing the new organization of the book. I called earlier in the week to discuss a change Gregg and Barrett wanted to make, a change that's now (in absence of feedback from you) been integrated here. Basically we're now opening with the whirlwind events of last weekend, which is used as both a microcosm of how insane Gregg's life has become thanks to Anonymous, on a personal level, and as a real-time snapshot of how deeply and fundamentally the Anonymous revolution has infected seemingly every quadrant of our lives. They both felt that this represented a more exciting (and, clearly, up-to-date) portrait of Gregg & Anonymous than does the Scientology stuff, which has now been moved to later in the book.
You have the draft of Chapter 2 (Gregg's childhood) already--I spoke w/ Katie today, who confirmed that it had been received.
I spoke w/ Gregg this morning, by the way, and he was so DEEPLY relieved to know the check's en route at last--this will take a huge burden off his shoulders (and Barrett's too). Thanks, Katie, for pushing that forward.
Julia, let's connect early in the week, OK?
All best,
Dan
