Hey Julia (and everyone else,)

We've been busy as can be over here.  I'm responding because Barrett pretty much has blinders on, I want him writing, not emailing.  I am reading and editing everything coming in, and he is sitting there writing.  We're getting a lot done so have been a bit quite.  Just wanted to send you an email letting you know that we are hard at work.  I'll try to respond a little faster next time.

And now back to work for me.

Gregg

Hey, Julia—

 

I’ve seen and have given feedback on drafts of four of the seven chapters; Gregg’s been working in parallel, giving Barrett feedback too, so I haven’t seen revisions that reflect my input or Gregg’s at this stage.  My understanding is that Barrett has set our comments aside for the time being while he pushes through to the end of the draft, at which point he’ll go back in again at page one and integrate /address  the comments & edits from Gregg and me.

 

It’s been our plan to present you with a full or nearly full draft in a couple of weeks’ time—can’t say for sure, but it seems more or less certain that going to miss the April 1 date I’d hoped for, to be completely honest.  We (Barrett) lost some time due to recent events you know about, but I know he’s working like hell to make up the lost time.

 

Guys, anything you want to add?

Dear Gregg, Dear Barrett,

 

Can you give us a status update on the manuscript? (How much is written, when we’ll see the next batch etc) Thanks.

 

Julia

Sure, I'll get it to you tomorrow. Or, if you'd rather have me finish the the second chapter and send to you tomorrow and get the outline after that, I can do that instead. Let me know.

Hello Barrett, Hello Gregg,

 

Are we going to get the table of contents this weekend?

 

I am in Seattle next week and would like to use my time on the plane Monday morning to read your manuscript.

 

Best,

Julia

Dear Gregg, Dear Barrett,

 

How did your visit go? We were thinking of your last week.

 

Can you get me an updated TOC that by January 27th? The goal is to give us a clear picture of what scenes whill be the focal point of each chapter. We also need to get a flavor of the first person element.

 

Best,

Julia
