It's hard, but it pays dividends. Glad you've found it useful. Yes, that cold perspective is a real asset, and the only way I’ve ever really found to get it is to walk away for a while.

This really gave me some perspective. I truly thought that you should get notes from someone else once you finished your first draft since they have a different perspective. But it does make since to put your "away from the script for some time" perspective on it FIRST. I needed this entry. Thanks, Phil! And the little bullet points really helped with the project I'm working on now. I can try my best to get those things right the first time, at least. What a terrific article, Phil!
