On Writing : Script plotting by James Austin McCormick

Script plotting

This might be a long shot. I noticed that you can post loglines only for review and also many writers help each other by reviewing each others' scripts. I was wondering though if there is anything on Stage 32 where writers can critique each others outlines/ beat sheets/ plot lines. Or if not, is there some way a group could be set up? Apologies, I'm quite new here so don't know what is possible or not. It certainly seems like an amazing place to be for networking and reciprocal support.

Interesting idea - it almost seems you'd need two elements that would be beyond the scope of this site - a means to share the outline format and a template to work from. I almost think you'd have to get a group together, go offsite (like Zoom or GoToMeeting, etc.) and be working from a program that you can share on-screen, such as Contour or Dramatica, etc.(?) It might help if the group is using the same thing perhaps. Then you get on, share your sheet, and talk it through with group members, then the next person takes a turn, etc. Just off the top of my head.
