Day 111 - Day 114: Progress

I am making some progress with my plans and recently met someone from the BBC who has agreed to read my book as endorsements from well-known people are what I am trying to obtain lately. I also may be able to track down a very great and popular author and approach him for a possible endorsement of my book. Meanwhile, I think I will stay in London to deal with my mail and editing my book. I finished Roald Dahl's Matilda and have now begun The Magus by John Fowles (out of sequence from my reading list, The BBC Big Read).

I met up with an old school friend I met on Facebook the other night and it was interesting to reminisce, the evening being enjoyable. It was here, in Soho, that I met the man from the BBC and his partner, both of whom were charming. By the time I got home, I was the worse for wear, but took it easy yesterday. Before I met up with my old friend, I had gone to the cinema to see Pan's Labyrinth and I found it touching and rewarding. Being so busy with my book, I have had no time to keep watching films, so it was great to take that time out to do that. I am planning to write a screenplay, so watching films is part of developing my abilities but my focus is fully on Off The Rails at the moment.
