Title: An excellent way to jump-start the screenwriting process
Review: I had already written a couple of screenplays before I read this book. While I can't say I agree with everything in this book's approach, I can say that it helped me put "pen to paper" when I was "stuck" otherwise.There are a couple of weak points to the book. One is that King should have advised that the writers know something about supporting characters before starting to write the actual screenplay. Another is that she advocates a set pattern of writing when in reality such a formulaic method will not apply to all people.But, I still highly recommend this book as it was extremely helpful to me. I would just add a cautionary note to modify her method of writing to fit your own. Once you do that, you will become more prolific in your writing.
