Emailing draft

I'm not sure if Simon has received any of my last emails, I haven't received any from him in the past month - they keep pinging back - not useful. Managed meet with a friend of my fathers though Michael Ryan, works for Handmade Productions. He read the script for my fifth episode and I gave him the outlines for the others. He liked them. He did give me feedback on the episode.

• The first scene between Claire and Danny went on for too long
• Certain scenes didn't flow correctly
• The introduction of DS Morgan needed to be subtle
• Make DS Morgan angry at the fact his son is being used.
• He would be angry at being asked to wait before going to his son's aid.

All of these I have to agree on, now that I read it back it is the weakest of all 6 scripts.

Emails

It seems no matter which email I use, everything freezes. UCA, Google, BT, Hotmail I can't even complain to Amazon for sending my dodgy folder!!!

Illness

Back in bed ill, spent three days not knowing which way is up - redrafted the scripts. Hopefully this time the characters sound unique!!!

Scripts

Saw Simon today to go through my scripts, what he was saying made sense certain things I have to change, my main trouble is being able to make each character unique. They seem to end up speaking with one voice - mine!! Not good!!

Script Writers

Had a little difficulty getting hold of the script writers that I chose to help aid in my research, I got through to one and had the agents of the others respond on their behalf, not what I wanted but beggars can't be choosers. One of the main influences for my idea Robert Singer -I have not been able to get near in any way. Short of hopping on a plane to Canada to bug him on location (which in the physical state I'm in is never gonna happen) I'm  not gonna be able to use him for my work.

Mediums

I did want to include interviews I did with local mediums as part of my research but out of the three I interviewed one seemed very fake and didn't aid in the project whatsoever! One didn't want her interview used after  I held it and the other interview I booked had to be cancelled due to my illness. You'd have thought being Psychic he would have known I was going to be ill and could have warned me!! I only jest!

Major Project: Illness

One of the bad things about working in a pharmacy at the weekends is that when stressed an IS is down you can catch anything going.
I've been stuck in bed since the weekend with a bug, quietly working away on my scripts!
So tired now!!
