Hi guys and gals!! (note: stupid intro - rewrite required)
Take 2: Lights, camera,... Action
Hi all and welcome to me. My name is ScreenPlayer and this is my first thread. I'm working on a script (what's new?) and came upon this great forum.
I've got lots a things I'd like to talk about and am looking forward to sharing with you all.
Just to get the ball rolling I'd like to know if you do any script sharing between yourselves. I mean like sending each other passages to read and give opinions about. I think that could be interesting. Any ideas?

I just wait till I have the whole thing done, then I post a few pages around. Get some feedback on style and execution.
Clean up the first draft based on the feedback of those 5, then send it out to various folks I've met around boards like these.
It works.

I have three friends who read my work and only three. Two of them are industry people and the third is someone who's never been smart enough to say no when I ask. Sometimes, I'll supplement these three with a 4th, depending on the genre and whether I think I need a more refined opinion. Any more than that and I find myself drowning in notes.

Thanks DPATERSO. No, I didn't see that but I went there and I think it's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks again.
