I got some GREAT feedback from an unlikely source today... a vfx artist who is not necessarily a "writer" but his way of making story suggestions were completely palatable and actually inspiring. It was obvious from his "citing the details" that he paid very close attention and tried to understand.

Every time a write a script I am reminded of the stinging sensation caused by either a "friend's" half hearted emotional review (without suggestions)... or even worse, when a friend says "they'd love to read it and give notes", and then they don't. About the only good that has come from these apathetic occurrences is MY OWN motivation to feedback accurately, carefully, and quickly (in that order) has gone way up.
