Save the Cat - reading
Finished "Save the Cat!: The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need" by Blake Snyder. As a relative novice to screenwriting, I thought the advice in this book was really good, and although it speaks to a fairly rigid formula, this is about what I was looking for when I read "Screenwriting for Dummies." Maybe Save the Cat will hold up once I'm more experienced, I don't know. Ask me in a couple years. On the bright side, it's a super-quick read and has exercises in it that you can do with just about any script to improve it and the things that go along with it. On the down side, I thought Memento was a fantastic movie.
