Oftentimes while writing, you are so close to the story that you don’t see things that are missing. I think this is especially true in the case of character. Many of your characters are so fully formed in your mind that you don’t realize you haven’t explained things that you know about them on the page. Good notes can help with this.

Be open minded . Try not to dig your heels in just because you are used to something reading a certain way. A little experimentation never hurt anyone.

As important as it is for a producer to be thoughtful about the writer’s feelings, it’s also key that writers understand their producer’s process . It may seem easy for your producer to just forward a script along, but it is important to understand how hard it is to build relationships to the point where one can get content read by decision makers or financiers.

A producer is only as good as their taste and the last script that they championed. This is the reason that producers push notes to the point of perfection. When you send a script out you only get one shot . It’s imperative to put your best foot forward, otherwise all of your time and effort will be for naught. If you don’t believe in it 100%, keep working.

Once a producer and a writer believe that the script is in good shape, they should also seek other outside opinions. Don’t by shy about sharing it. Sometimes we can get so caught up in the discussion of a particular note that we fail to see other glaring issues.

Choose to seek out the opinions of those whose taste you respect and you trust. The more eyeballs you can get on your script prior to formally taking it out, the more comfortable you’ll be in your assessment of whether or not you have something undeniable.

The process of giving and taking notes is not always fun, but when approached by both sides with mutual respect and shared long term goals, it can lead your project to heights that you never thought possible.
