When you receive rewrite notes from me or anyone else it is your obligation to yourself to push a little harder and spend a little more time to improve your work. This is only the beginning. If you are able to make the jump into professional writing, you will be given more rewrite notes by producers, story editors, development executives, agents, managers, and actors. The powers that be in the business will have you rewriting yourself to death. Or, if you're really lucky, you'll be rewriting someone else, for a huge amount of money.
