Title: Haste makes waste
Review: This was the first book I bought when I was learning how to write screenplays. I have a finished screenplay now, but this book was not at all helpful. In my opinion this book adds to the difficulty of writing a screenplay when there is a time factor. I would suggest a period of at least 2 months, most of the time going into planning. Who really cares about how quick you can write a screenplay, isn't the real goal to see how good you can write one? By the way of all the seminars by professional screenwriters that I've been to, I've brought this book up. None of them cared for it. Suggested instead was WRITING SCREENPLAYS THAT SELL by Michael Hauge, and after that Syd Field's books which go more into detail.
Is the review positive or negative?
