#Scriptchat TOPIC: How to Handle Feedback from Reaction to Rewrite. This includes getting feedback as well as giving it.
Tonight we talked feedback. Getting it, dealing with it, ignoring it, and how to work your magic after someone has just blasted your script to smithereens. In classic Scriptchat style, our topics sometimes get derailed, but with roll with it. Tonight we discovered a possible way to do table readings via Skype, and the First Dude of Scritpchat, Zac Sanford @zacsanford, sent out an offer to give FREE feedback to one of our chatters. Read the USA feed to find out how to enter the contest! You never know what will happen when the tequila starts flying. Enjoy! @jeannevb
