A Good Read

Whenever I set out to write a new screenplay, I always dig up my copy of Syd Field's The Screenwriter's Workbook for inspiration. This was one of the original textbooks Gabe and I read for our screenwriting class last year, and I think I'd be correct in saying that it's helped us both tremendously. There are other books out on the market that I'd also suggest, but most of them tend to merely regurgitate what Field says. I'm very thankful for having read this book. It offered good advice for moments when I was having a tough time defining elements of my story.
