Again, it was shown to me how useful it is to make contacts as I had these last few week a great experience which I want to share with you; I was looking for an editor to have a look at one of my scripts and got in touch with screenwriter and director, Jon Shallit who offered me to do the editing together by whats- app on phone. While we were working together, he learned a lot. Not only about sentence constructions but also how to make every sentence visual for the audience. We worked through a number of pages. Then we agreed that I would try to do the other pages in the same way and that we would have a look at it together when I had finished. I noticed that it had become far more easier for me to rewrite the rest of the pages and it already appeared to be a great improvement. when we went through it at the end of the week, except for some word order and idiom. This excellent way of working together was a real eye opener for me.

That's great, Leotien Parlevliet! You're right. Contacts open ways. You made a contact, and it paid off right away. And you started building a relationship with Jon. Who knows? He could work with you on another project -- maybe one of his projects -- in the future.

Fantastic story, Leotien Parlevliet. And congratulations. So very well earned. As I've been saying for 13 years here, once you start treating networking and relationship building as part of your job, everything changes.
