Title: A Screenwriter's Treasure
Review: I read this book because I just finished William Froug's other book, "Screenwriting Tricks of the Trade", and I was loved and resides on the top of my list of the best/helpful books I've ever read about screenwriting. Both are geared more towards the advanced screenwriter and those who've had essays of structure and characterization up to the gills and are now ready to write something good.One caution here: If you are looking to teach you zen, forget about it. Go buy a book on zen. If you are looking for more advanced thoughts and exploration on screenwriting, this book is it. William Froug is a wonderful teacher with much wisdom and experience to share.Similar to another book of his, "Screenwriters on Screenwriting", you see writing through the eyes of the accomplished screenwriter, which can be very helpful for the aspiring writer to pace their careers, goals, dreams and life accordingly. Maybe that's where the zen comes in.
