I know this isn't a ton of progress but I finished the first draft of my script and even already edited it, so then I guess it's technically a second draft! No idea where to go from here but I'm happy to take it one step at a time. No title or logline yet, but a ton of story ideas and a dream. Anyone want to exchange scripts for feedback?

Double-congratulations!
A little advice I use: sit on your script for a few weeks, without it circulating in your mind, and then revisit it. There may be some things you overlooked or hadn't considered... grammar mistakes, continuity issues, leaning into a trope, extraneous dialogue that can be tightened up, etc. There's always something.
Congratulations on finishing your first/second draft, Olivia Drake! :)

Yay! You have accomplished so much. Keep elevating the story—add more layers to your characters and obstacles that they have to overcome.

Would you like to exchange scripts with me? I have two (if not a lot), both in hopefully their last drafts!
