    Dec 23 2025

    Art describes three different stages of story development and explains how and why he and Tim provide different types of feedback depending on the stage the story is in.

    "Feedback on a work in progress can nurture a story or kill it, so we try to give feedback that helps enhance its strengths rather than showcase its flaws."
