One of the creators of a hit show has invited me to sit in the room for a week to learn how they break their stories, but I'm not really sure how to maximize this experience. He's a big fan of my creative work outside of screenwriting, so I'm somebody who was discovered by him on a personal level, and not invited on the strength of a pilot, through management, or anything similar.
There's plenty of great info available for new writers entering a room, but what might be expected of someone in my situation to make a good impression? I'm great at being a fly on the wall and absorbing information, but pretty clueless otherwise.
Should I just keep my mouth shut the whole time, or are there ways I can participate without coming off as intrusive or out of line?
Any help from those experienced with this type of situation is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
