You really know what you're talking about...

I've spent the last few days trawling through SYW (screenwriting)where I found mostly the same few individuals taking a great deal of time to critique the work of others even when their efforts weren't acknowledged or worse. These people continue to offer great advice to new writers when others might have considered themselves unappreciated and stopped. dpaterso, cornflake, LittlePinto and others, your efforts ARE greatly appreciated by those like myself who gain knowledge even when it's not our work being critiqued. Thank you.

Bravo

Thanks Maryn. I hadn't as yet worked out how to give reps. These seasoned veterans who continually take time out to critique other people's work most certainly don't get the acknowledgement they deserve.

In your debt, at your service.

The people who review others work are actually quite clever. I am new here and have done only one review of another's work. I saw minor errors in that authors work that I did not even realize that I as an author was doing myself! If anyone is even remotely wanting to improve their craft I suspect that reviewing the work of others work is the best way you can improve your own.

Looking at someones works and finding what that...er...works is helpful. But finding on your own, what doesn't work is essential!
