Fair enough, that seems a bit clearer. Is he taking an option then on these projects he's developing as a co-producer?

This is my slight worry.
It's my agents job to punt things around.
If he [jan} takes something - he'd sort of need to option it or something.
Might all get a bit mucky otherwise.

Laz, just ask Jan about the technicalities. He won't mind.

Of course.
I don't want to lead anyone up the garden path, that's all.

Why, what's up there?

A potting shed?

...of mystery.

And pots.

'The Potting Shed Of Mystery' Finally, the title I was searching for for the supernatural Kids TV drama I've been working on!

He gave me a LOT (several paragraphs) of feedback

Quote: Badge @ June 9 2009, 12:06 AM BST

Jan gave me honest and useful feedback

Quote: Ladma @ June 8 2009, 10:24 PM BST

He's very knowledgeable and gives very good feedback

Quote: swerytd @ June 9 2009, 8:48 AM BST

Yeah, he gave me a lot of feedback

He gave useful feedback

Why not recycle all this Feedback? In most public places there are Feedback recycling containers right next to the garbage containers. Additionally, most people like to recycle Feedback because it can be useful in boosting flagging egos. The push to recycle Feedback came from the fact that so many wannabe writers at the bottom of the ladder were dumping surplus Feedback on each other in Comedy Critique Forums. It was becoming a horrible eye-sore and Feedback takes forever to break down. Recycling Feedback also helps to save lives of suicidal wannabe comedy writers – however, this must be positive Feedback, otherwise the wannabe is liable to reach for the rope and rickety chair. When Feedback is recycled, it is broken down and shipped off to 'Jan, Jan The Feedback Man', who redistributes it to wannabes languishing at the bottom of the comedy food chain. Recycling Feedback is something that every wannabe comedy writer should be doing. There really is no excuse not to. Incidentally, my local grocer is working on a really super sitcom, 'Funny Friends Flat-sharing' – he accepts my positive feedback as cash. I can't praise him enough!

Aw. Did Jan not give you feedback?

Maybe it's because he did.

I didn't say it was positive feedback! :(

Feedback is all very well, but what about when it's wrong?

You ignore it.

Yes, but I really think people should have the humility to recognise when their feedback has been wrong and apologise to me.

Doing the right thing would eventualy make them feel better about themselves.

Good Lord, Morrace, the only way you learn is through feedback. It's the life-blood of a writer. To find someone in the industry willing to write not only No but why it's a No is rare indeed and should be applauded. The rest of the industry should remember that everyone was once a wannabe.

"All feedback is good but some is more good than others and stuff" - Orwell (paraphrased).
