Nothing turns a reader off more than an opening that doesn't show craft and care and that certain something all great scripts have. - David Stem If you’re new, and the above statement scares you, that’s okay; every one of us feels a lot of emotions when sharing our pages. Family members and friends are rarely trained story analysts; hence, we need other writers to give us useful and effective feedback.

Screenwriting is hard. You have to be very courageous to put yourself out there and be willing to accept that your pages will need to be rewritten, revised, and sometimes torn to shreds in the process of making something great. To paraphrase our fearless leader, David Stem, the magic happens when writers stop protecting drafts and start refining them in real time and revealing all of themselves to other writers.

I found out today the buffy reboot was cancelled by Hulu But someone uploaded a page from the script. ( I’m not sure how legit it is.) but I thought it was interesting to read. I had some thoughts but I’d love to know what you guys think- especially if you were a fan of Buffy the vampire slayer back in the day 👀👀

The forge analysis for my feature. 👀😍 This is awesome really! First off, listening to it out loud there are bits I can hear I want to change. - how yet I’m not sure. And the question to tighten certain bits is so helpful. ( along with everyone’s notes from yesterday ) I’m going to give myself a day or two ( probably a day as everytime I say a few days it ends up being a day or a few hours before I go in and make changes. ) but I’m going to give myself some time to to just think. Or not think. And come back with even more ideas. I’m finding the more of the story I have ( I have the full story down ) but The scenes inbetween are harder to tighten. ( especially the scenes I shared yesterday) But this is part of the process. It’s like a puzzle 👀 This is awesome work David this app is so handy. 👀 Thank you sm. 🥰
