Is my takeaway from today 12-1p coaching call. Thanks all and great work.

Huge turnout today! This was our biggest yet. Every one of these is a learning experience for me. Especially seeing how the pages play out now that we're doing table reads and seeing how other writers respond. Curious what came out of today for you guys. @Temycka Carpenter Carlton @Jason Byrley @Jason Smith @Chad Desrochers @Anna Fermin @Pia Crawford @Shauna G @Iii Party @Krystel Biasotti @Chris Dyer @Ian Campbell @Lena Lieuvin @Piter Marek @David Hinnebusch @Godfrey Virgile We couldn't get to everyone and will get you in future sessions. Meanwhile, I need to create a sign up sheet of sorts here, so we can schedule more than one session out. But this platform doesn't allow me to do that, so any suggestions on how to do so would be appreciated!

This comment absolutely delighted me. Maybe I'm being petty, but after seeing the amazing pages and ways writers are transforming in this morning session, I got a notification that Don just doesn't approve of what we are doing here at all. Here's the Ad: I'm J. David Stem, Fancy Hollywood Writer Just let it be a reminder, that no matter what your intentions, no matter how good your pages, the world is full of Don Tuttles. Sometimes it feels like... it's Tuttles all the way down! So, keep your head down and focused on YOUR work and what YOU can control. And lets the Tuttles of the world do Tuttle things. Not. Your. Concern.

This is a great, welcoming community. Let us know what your screenwriting journey is that brought you here. What movies you love, where you're from, and what was the moment that made you want to be a writer. You've finally found a place to explore that with other encouraging film lovers. Remember, you don't have to face the blank page alone!

New Members, time to step into the Hot Seat and take advantage of the magic that's happening here. Last week was amazingly busy and productive in The Forge. Especially on the Coaching Calls. Just look at the thread, where people are excited about what they're learning together, and revealing how transformative it has been for their work. We have another New Member Coaching call this Monday. If you have pages, drop them below. If you just want to come say hi, or watch how the sessions unfold, please come and get a feel for what we are up to here. It's a special place and the Zoom calls are where we put ourselves on the line and really step up for our talent and grow as writers! One of our newest members @Eva Titova is ready with pages from her family comedy, Mainstream Uninvited. LOGLINE: When the mainstream Müllers visit a spiritual family for Christmas, the friendship quickly becomes dysfunctional when the father declares that humans have no free-will, but soon, his own daughter will break free from his control by doing what she never dared to do before - to choose. Who else is in?
