I go through phases, usually of a 2-3 months out of a year when I can read. The rest of the time, I struggle through magazine articles.<BR/><BR/>A few months ago I tried to read the first Harry Potter book. Three days later, when I had sat down with it about a half-dozen times for an hour at a clip but still wasn't through chapter one.... I put it back on the shelf.<BR/><BR/>On TS I've only reviewed a couple of scripts since October. I'm in a don't bother phase, but I will give it a go.Carl Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145297032733680067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-20087722868267547522007-03-10T16:57:00.000-05:002007-03-10T16:57:00.000-05:00Are you kidding?

It'...Guillermo - Yeah, narrowing it down is tough. It's also tough, I think, because a lot of newbie screenwriters out there haven't read a lot of screenplays. They have movies they love. So to talk about a script and explain why you love is unusual, ya know?<BR/><BR/>Carl - I'm sure you've read one or two before, haven't ya?
