Hellooooo, comrades! Coming out of the shadows again to circle back on my Stage 32 intro post 2 months ago: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/introduce_yourself/Screenwriter-Producer-....
The table read went fairly well in a number of regards, albeit with room for improvement. The intention was less to produce a professional performance and more to procure valuable feedback to figure out what's working and what's not. Shout out to Kenneth W. who I met through Stage 32's "The Writers Room" last year who was a pleasure to work with, along with many other talented people, and provided very helpful comments in our Feedback Q&A session, etc.
Honestly it's been rough to "get back on the saddle." But with nearly a month passed, and an important conversation with my partners and other trusted writer friends, including Tracy Wren (also on this platform), I have the perspective and motivation to dive headlong with purpose and peace.. ;)

Great to see you at IYW again, Maria Rose Doctor. Glad the table read went fairly well! I had a table read for a few pages of my script, and the dialogue sounded awkward. Haha I also found issues with the scene/story.

Hi Maria! It's always okay to take a break, and then come back full force, sometimes it's the best thing you can do! Welcome back and now it's to build that momentum!

Thanks so much, Emily, Maurice and GiGi! Feeling encouraged. Working on incorporating the changes my partners and I agreed upon. What we're doing matters. And what you're all doing matters too! Wishing everyone peace and purpose in their next steps. (If anyone needs encouragement, I got you! DM me.)

Had the pleasure of producing a film that Tracy Wren directed, so you're in great hands there, Maria. Good on you for getting the table read off the ground AND for taking time to reflect, recharge, and move forward.

Thank you, RB and Carol! I had the pleasure of producing a short for Tracy as well years ago. She said good things about you as well. :)
