When I began working for Media Partners Corporation back in 2007, my boss Jim handed me a book called Save The Cat which soon became a treasured resource for storytelling and screenwriting. Blake Snyder's guidance and thoughts on story structure were invaluable.
I recieved word yesterday that he passed away, suddenly, from Cardiac Arrest. It was a curveball that I almost mistook for a publicity stunt. Unfortunately, it was true and Mr. Snyder is no longer with us. And that means the world is a little more dim than it was yesterday. If you've had any interest in storytelling or screenwriting, then you really need to take a look at Snyder's book because it is so tremendously important. I usually shy away from formula, but his structure is such a benefit to writers that I can't help but suggest it. Read it. Use it. And Enjoy it! (I believe I've got a link to it on my Amazon Affiliate sidebar.) And check out his website, too, for further tools and discussions: http://www.savethecat.com Comments are closed.
