Yet Another Good Book

Filed under: books, screenwriting — Tags: , — mscherer @ 8:22 pm

Been away for a while — concentrating on my writing — did two rewrites and finished another spec.  Because of that writng frenzy I decided to take time to revisit a book I put down several months ago:

 

The Anatomy of Story: 22 Steps to Becoming a Master Storyteller by John Truby (http://www.writersstore.com/product.php?products_id=3710). 

 

I find I have a greater appreciation for the complex material this time around.  It is a master class in screenwriting in particular and storytelling in general.  I’m only half way through, but I’m trying to absorb every bit — wish I could just put it under my pillow and absorb via osmosis.

 

On a different note, I will be resuming my monthly sales report beginning September 1, 2008.  I abandoned this project when I found myself deeply immersed in my writing, but now have time to compile the monthly sales data.

 

That’s all for now, and…

Keep Writing!

Read Any Good Books Lately?

Just thought I would recommend a great book on screenwriting. I must give props to Julie Gray (The Script Whisperer) for clueing me in on this tome. The book is called, Inside Story by Dara Marks:

http://www.amazon.com/Inside-Story-Power-Transformational-Arc/dp/0978812905/ref=sr_1_1/105-0298381-9715666?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193863841&sr=1-1

Get it. Read it. Devour it. You won’t be sorry.

Now, have you read any good books lately?

Keep writing.
