In this episode of the Script Reader Pro Podcast, Scott and Desiree dive into one of the most important (and often misunderstood) parts of the writing process: rewriting.

Whether you’re polishing a feature, refining a pilot, or trying to figure out what’s not quite working in your story — this episode is packed with tools and mindset shifts to help you tackle your rewrite with clarity and confidence.

They explore key questions every writer should ask before diving into draft two (or three… or seven):

• How to tell when you’re actually ready to rewrite
• Why the first draft is just the beginning (and what separates pros from amateurs)
• Mindset tricks to see your script with fresh eyes
• What to look for when analyzing characters, dialogue, and pacing
• Why every word, scene, and character choice should fight for its place
• How to structure your rewrite in manageable layers (instead of attacking it all at once)

Plus, they chat about why some scenes should be cut entirely, how to tell if your characters have unique voices, and why "getting in late and getting out early" is a screenwriter’s secret weapon.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed staring at your second draft, or wondered how to take your script from “meh” to memorable — this episode is for you.
