The habits and or strategies that help me persevere when the industry feels slow or competitive is becoming more active on platforms like Stage32. I am also brushing up on screen reading by ensuring that I am knowledgeable of the format of scriptwriting and being more engaging in the writers room and the screenwriting lounge.

That's great, Warren Edward Foster! Stage 32 has two written pitch examples (one for a show and the other for a movie). Stage 32 also has a verbal TV pitch beat sheet and a verbal feature pitch beat sheet. You can get them by emailing success@stage32.com.
Here's three Lounge posts with pitch advice:

The Pitch Practice in the Writers’ Room is the best pitching resource in my opinion. Pitch Practice is every Thursday night at 5:30 P.M. PST/8:30 P.M. EST. You can sit in and listen to members practice their projects and give them feedback. You can pitch your project too, but you have to sign up. The hosts, Noel Thompson and John Mezes, take names during Pitch Practice for people to pitch the following week. You have to sit in and listen at the practice one or two times before you can pitch.
The Pitch Tank in the Writers’ Room is an incredible pitching resource too. The Pitch Tank is where you pitch your script to an executive and get feedback. The Pitch Tank is once a month.

The best writers steal ;) It's great to read as many top-rated scripts as you can and really soak up what you can from working writers.
