This scene was originally written tamer, but a critiquer suggested I needed a better reason for Sandy's eventual reaction at the end of this scene, and suggested that I make the argument with Eric into something personal. <br /><br />Critiquers sometimes make all the difference between a so-so scene and a powerful one.Owlladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12989152304836466124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361240553573022287.post-29545721009619660842013-03-03T16:13:14.474-05:002013-03-03T16:13:14.474-05:00Yup.
