Eyarefe Uloh Paul: Musician in Warri, Nigeria.

Hi, Meghan. Great, helpful blog. Thanks for sharing the tips.

My favorite things from the blog:

"You will miss things in your own work because you’ve looked at it so many times and are too close and too familiar. There will be ideas you’ve thought you’ve expressed, but they’re still actually only in your mind. There will be aspects you’ve not communicated well." Those are my main reasons for getting feedback.

"Find something useful in what they said and let the rest go." This has helped me so many times when reading feedback.

"As a writer, the first thing I do is read over my work several times aloud to myself. Reading work out loud (or using a computer’s voice function to have it read to me) is a fantastic way to find typos and grammatical errors, thoughts that don’t quite mesh and sentences that aren’t smooth. If I trip over something, I know I need to change it. This is also a good way to get rid of the superfluous." I like to read my action lines and dialogue out loud. It helps me catch things that need to be fixed. Sometimes when I read things out loud, I think, "That doesn't sound right." :)

Best to you on your projects.

Hi Eyarefe. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
