Dear michelle,
I hope things are going well.
I wanted to check in about the text again and to ask you when you could realistically get a draft to us. I know that you are always juggling a lot, but I am getting nervous that as Viva! approaches, the window where you will be able to finish up the draft before the festival hits is getting narrower and narrower. Do you think it is still possible to send your text before the festival?

The last draft that I saw looked to be coming together into something really exciting, although it involved a lot of work to transform the transcribed conversation into a legible document, you were well on the way. I am wondering what remains to be done, if there are any specific blockages that you want help working through, or if there is anything that Lauren or I could do to help you to facilitate the draft being completed.

It would be great to know where you are at with the text, and how long you anticipate it will take you to wrap it up (like a deadline where we can expect to see a draft).

Thanks so much, michelle.

Hey Josh and Lauren,
Ive been working on it, about a day or half day a week, and turning in circles. I don’t know what to say. I want this to be done as much as you but I’m trying to make something that feels relevant to your needs and mine and, yes it’s dragging out.
Driving school is finished as of this week so hopefully that will give the couple of extra hours necessary. Two more weeks, mid august and I’ll just give you whatever I have and you’ll do with it what you want.
No way this is dragging into the festival cause I’ll be back in reports as soon as it’s done avs that’s way too much writing for my brain.

Hi Michelle,
Thank you so much for your update.
It’s totally fine for mid-August. But I am sorry that you feel like you are giong around in circles! If you think a call would help, or any other support, just let me know. I’d be happy to help unknot what feels like an obstacle, if I can.
I am so grateful to you for putting so much time into this. 
good luck with the writing!
