Question: When does a newly arrived member of Group 3 display their awesomeness? Is it expected that you will have articulate a fix right there, in the room, when the problem or note is first voiced? Or does it typically work like this: you, the writer, sit and listen and take notes and nod, make good eye contact, and upon hearing the problem, say, "I see what you're saying. Let me dig into that." And you go off to your writer's garret with your raft of notes and fix the problem there, in the next draft?
Put more concisely, just how often and to what extent should a writer suggest fixes in the room during a notes meeting, as problems and issues are raised?
