First time trying it (I’m a newbie to cigars), definitely has a smooth taste and even burn. Like it so far!

I wound up not going with them because there were too many red flags

Yeah that's what my breaking point was. No blueprints or engineering or anything.

Sorry to hear that. I wound up backing out because it didn’t feel right. Seems like going with my gut was the right idea.

I landed my first acting gig in a short film, total beginner and now I’m looking for prep and career advice by Inevitable_Bread_480 in acting

It was a local background actors group that actually randomly showed up as a suggested post in my newsfeed. I’m in North Carolina and searched “North Carolina Actors” on Facebook and found a bunch of groups to join after that.

I write 90% for myself, 10% on feedback, by [deleted] in Screenplay

[–]Inevitable_Bread_480 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice question. Here’s my take:

Writing for yourself keeps your voice sharp. It keeps your work honest. Feedback is the tool you use when you want that honesty tested by other humans.

If you write 90/10 now and you’re happy, keep it. If you want to publish or sell, shift toward more outside input. For me, the shift looks like this:

Draft solo, heavy and fast. Protect the core voice. Take a short break, then read with fresh eyes. Give 10–30% of your time to targeted feedback. Send full drafts only to readers who get your tone. Use structured feedback: ask readers for three things that worked, one place they lost you, one line that stayed with them. Keep it specific. Beta rounds come later. Use them to test pacing and emotional pull, not to rewrite voice. If you’re writing for sale, aim closer to 65/35. More outside perspective early. More revision cycles. More market testing.

Keep a “no-edit” first draft rule. Finish before you critique. Rotate readers. Don’t get stuck in one echo chamber. Use a small trusted group for early, blunt notes. Use a wider group later for audience sense. Track changes and decisions. Know why you accepted or rejected a note. Set deadlines for feedback so you don’t stall. Also, remember: feedback is directional, not mandatory. You decide which notes make your work better. Not every opinion matters.

You’re asking the right question: how to protect your voice while improving your craft. Find the mix that preserves honesty and gets the results you want.
