Hints/tips on rewriting and incorporating notes from everywhere (the studio, producers, your manager, your peers). How to take notes--without falling apart--to improve your work. Thanks!

I came here to say that! I just had some notes from a script editor and whilst I agree with his diagnosis of the problems, his suggestions for solutions feel more like they fit his conception of what the script could be rather than mine. So I'm slightly struggling to untangle the good advice from the rest, but also to make sure I am rejecting ideas because they don't fit my vision rather than because they're not mine! This is a spec script, so I only have myself to please, but at the same time I feel like taking incorporating notes is a key skill I need to learn.

This is a great question (from both of you). Will definitely do something about notes.

Ben, you mention in the pod there is a section on three things preWGA can do to support the strike... Can you point us to that? Not seeing it on Substack although I’m sure I’ve missed it somewhere. Thanks as always and this was a really enlightening discussion on the inner workings of the strike.
