Connecting with my Mentor

“Yeaah!!! boooyy”… (in a Flava Flav style..lol) Just a short one really.. I have now been assigned a mentor well.. actually it was a few weeks ago….lol and I am paired with Angie Bual, the producer from the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith …. and I am really happy with that…. to be honest I wouldn’t have minded anyone of the mentors having spoke to most of them…. but I had two in my mind that I felt best ’suited’ my vision and what I was doing….. erm!! and Angie was one so thanks!!!.  I’m in the Mids and she is in London… (soon to be moving further afield) so face-to-face won’t always be easy… and ‘randomly’ poping in won’t be an option..lol THANKS to technology we can still connect via phone, email.. etc…. (Nb: Dom I’m still not ‘SKyped up’ will be getting on that this weekend… soz mate)

We had our first chat about the project and after saying hello…. well I ‘kinda’ just went into this 10 min ’speed talk’ about what I’m doing? asking how should I do it.. third person, first person? should I tell a story?… Do I need characters? should I be myself?…. lets just say it may have been a ‘baptism of fire’ for Angie… SORRY Angie ……. after a moment to catch my breath….  and Angie to ’soak it all in’…….. we ended saying that we will meet face -to-face in the next couple of weeks or early Jan and that I would get my key dates etc … to her.   I hope she doesn’t think I’m a bit of a ‘looney’……….. maybe I am.. ummmmm!!! one gone yazeemi
