What feedback is helpful to you? I have been very vocal about terrible feedback in the past, but today, we’re figuring out the best ways to help, no matter what level of writer you are!
A buddy of mine won a fellowship thing here in LA that awarded him coverage by some bonafied studio execs. My favorite exec (sadly, he didn't share her name with me) simply wrote a number on the cover page; which was the page where she stopped reading.
That is so vicious 🤣 I don't know if I'd be so galled that I wouldn't even be upset, or if I'd retreat to my cave for two weeks 😂 Worst of all, I would want to know why! I can make up my own reasons, but those can only be educated guesses at best! What a great and terrible anecdote, I love that you shared this!
Ah feedback, yes - love this! While I don't give feedback on scripts, I do give feedback on a lot of other stuff as an editor. It's a fine balance. I love what you said about positive notes. too, as they are so important. If I'm tearing apart a blog, I always make sure to comment, "Love this," "Perfect, you nailed it here!" and things like that. Also, stepping away sometimes makes a big difference. Gives my subconscious time to work out the kinks. Great blog, Law!
