What I am enjoying is the specificity of the feedback and content. It is really helpful, particularly the comments and editing you shared on the scenes submitted by members. Sometimes I feel that the writing advice I read is too vague for me to implement. Editing other friends' writing in my writing group also has helped me to improve my understanding. Thanks, Tim.
Great to read this Tim. Tough love is often the best way when it comes to writing. Excited to see what you have for us..even us writers who have been doing it a long time
