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.
