I took a little break from rewriting to read through a script and provide feedback. I actually learned a lot giving feedback on other scripts recently. Things like what to avoid or just seeing how other writers solved problems. I'd recommend doing so if you can!

I had a friend that was a talented actor. He sad he didn’t realise what he knew until he taught a drama class. Teaching or helping other solidifies your own knowledge. You are 100% correct you also learn from other’s mistakes.
Another screenwriter and I swapped scripts and made notes on each other's work. It was an amazing experience and we both learned a lot from doing that. Getting another perspective on your work from other writers is something I would highly recommend.

Would love your feedback on my projects. View my profile page.
Andrew Bruce Lockhart I used to feel the same way but I had to change my perspective on it. You are not saying these things to tear them down, but to lift them up. I do it so they have info so they can jump into rewrites with new ideas and maybe find something that didnt occur to them before.
I want all the feedback and suggestions to my projects given. We learn from one another.
Dan Guardino The people I've shared with have been nothing but nice.
PJ, thanks for doing this. It always nice to give feedback from others, that is how I see it.
