The Meeting - an insight Page 6
By the way, and I'm only asking because I can't be bothered to look back, ha, how long did it take to get a reply from when you first sent material off? Cheers.
Hey, congrats Seefacts - good luck with that!

About a month at first - I wrote, he emailed back.
At first I was told he had a full diary until 08. 08 came round, I emailed him chancing my arm, and it paid off.
PS.
Hope it makes it to the screen.
Oh were I young again!
Congrats, Seefacts. Well done. This is brilliant to read. Obviously, it's great for you personally, but also it gives me, and I’m sure the others on here, some hope too. I hope it all goes well for you!

Thank you.
My fate rests with the BBC now. Lets hope they like it. Hopefully with producer and company backing, they might take an interest.
Top stuff, only just catching up since my abscence. I think someone said it best earlier on. You can still wish someone well while feeling a mild pang of jealousy - it proves you have the drive to want to achieve something for yourself too.
Keep us informed.

I've currently got a mild pang of 'don't f**k it up, you moron!'
How long did it take you write this gem?

I shouldn't worry too much.
After all, it was you doing what you do that has got you where you're at currently.
Mind you, I can only imagine the knots the old (sorry, young!) stomach must be in!
I tell you what, its good going for 23. Plenty of time to improve if needed.

A few weeks of planning, then about 4 months of writing and re-writing.
Longer than normal, but then it weighed in at over 100 pages and I re-planned and wrote most of the plot again from scratch so that's why.

I take it you were working full-time on another job as well? Longer than normal? My normal is currently a lot longer than that!

Well, I suppose it was 4 months of just doing it in the evenings not constant work, if that's what you mean.
I can write a pilot, if all goes well, in about a week but this one spiralled as I had loads of plot ideas and couldn't squeeze them all. Though it means episode 2 will take shape well.
