The 'wounds' of a friend are trustworthy

By J. Darin Wales, Freelance Film/Tv Director Virginia Beach, Va.

Recently I had a dear friend of mine read a script on which I had just finished a first draft. I knew the script had a few problems, but overall I thought it was pretty good. More than that, I really liked what I had written.  

My friend took a week to look over the script.  I had given her the green light to “rip my script to shreds,” not realizing just how much she would take it to heart!
