So about a month ago, I finished the second draft of the script I’ve been working on for going on a year at this point. I took a month’s break from writing it because I felt I was going super hard on it and organized a table reading for this weekend so that I can hear the script out loud for myself.

I know the second draft isn’t perfect. It’s much better than the first draft, but I’m still unsure about a couple things with it in its current state. My goal is that once I hear the script in it’s entirety out loud, I will be better able to identify the uneasiness I have with certain beats and/or dialogue and iron all of this out.

I plan to have a post-read discussion after it is over and I want to ask good questions that will help me get an idea of how certain things went over with people. I don’t wanna ask questions like “Was it good? Was it bad?”, but instead ask questions that really helps me understand how and if people are connecting with this on a thematic level, what their takeaways are, etc. I was looking to see what would be some good questions to ask in a post-reading discussion? Also just any general advice to calm the anxiety I’m kind of having going into this? I’ve worked pretty hard on this and it’s a pretty vulnerable story for me and I know that certain elements of it can be fine tuned, but I do not want to be discouraged. Thank you for any and all advice!
