Matt "MJ" Leonard: Screenwriter in Washington, D. C..

Thanks for highlighting those programs Stacy!

Thanks Peter! A very important reminder and helpful post!

Excellent post Ashley! Thank you!

Thank you - very helpful, and encouraging! I recently had asked a friend/colleague to be the first to give me feedback on a spec screenplay I drafted. Their notes made me feel they weren't as jazzed about the piece as I was. This felt like a let down. As a result I set the work aside for awhile. This helped, because when I returned to the piece I was more objective, found greater value in their observations, and used them to improve the work. I also learned some things about my blind spots through this process.

Excellent! Hoping the good news keeps on coming for your project!

Thank you for another highly informative piece, Stephen! I appreciate you sharing your scoring system and your insights with us!

Extremely helpful insights Brian! I also appreciate the Beauty and the Beast breakdown. I’ve just completed the draft of my very first feature screenplay and had built my outline around the twelve stages - that process works well for me. I look forward to learning additional tips from your other blogs!
