A Few More Quotations about Feedback

Giving your opinion of their opinion extends the conversation, makes them
too invested in putting their mark on the script, and it commits you
mentally to changes you may later realize aren't really what you want. You
should be in receive mode, not implement mode, at this point. Flip the
switch back from "listen" to "do" after the conversation, and after you've
had time to let it all sink in. - Jane Espenson


Don't confuse asking for your friends and colleagues' advice with
listening to unsolicited advice. Input from fellow artists is always
great, and it never dilutes your vision, because you only need to listen
to the helpful stuff. - Patton Oswalt
