Bonjour,

Right so this is what I have done in the last 15 days. I have been at work (8am-4pm) for 9 of those days. I have written a 300 word short story for a flash fiction competition (I might be able to put it up later) and I have done some research for writing magazine articles. A couple of months ago I was pestering some nice man at a magazine who ended up sending me this

Hi Will,

Sorry for taking ages getting back to you. I've had 2 (and a bit days off work) and have come back into work to find 240 emails in my inbox which need sifting through.

But judging from what you've sent me, you can definitely string a sentence together (you'd be surprised how many people who write to me can't do such a thing...)

Could you maybe drop me a line in the new year and I'll see if I can sort you out with maybe a gig preview or something...

Cheers!

I emailed him on Monday the 5th and am still waiting a reply. Now should I pester him more? He did say he was busy and it has just been the Christmas season so he may take time getting back to me and I did say patience was a virtue (I invented that saying). However the most important word on that email is "maybe" and I don't want to be strung along. So should I try and get answer out of him?

Yes I'm asking you sat there.

Take Care
