I'll bog about Story soon, I do have it on audio and have heard it, but I need a refresher. I do remember it had some great characterisation points.<br /><br />Shelly - Theres masses of books on writing, and it's worth weeding them out (or just going crazy and buying everyone that comes across your path like I do). Amazon's look inside and their Kindle first three chapters is a good place to start, read the reviews too, people are pretty honest. I've read heaps but there's only a couple I consider essential.<br /><br />Suze - It's a really popular choice judging by writer's blogs. I think I would have got more out of it if I was into screenwriting.<br /><br />Sarah - Then this book would be more helpful for you. I admire screenwriters - I can get my head around the logistics.<br /><br />Myrna - Thanks, I'm pretty happy with my little social media world, I've found some great blogger friends - like you.<br /><br />Josh - Most welcome. I look forward to seeing what's on your blog today.<br /><br />Alleged - I think there are better books for dialogue, I'll see which ones I can find in my collection.<br /><br />Thanks for writing everyone - I'll be popping around and visiting blogs today :)Charmaine Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642615452680721583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-80090035415979156952011-05-17T10:38:41.828+10:002011-05-17T10:38:41.828+10:00I've been wondering recently if a screen writi...I've been wondering recently if a screen writing tips book would help to develop more believable dialogue.

The big selling point seemed to be his 'save the cat' moment he felt you needed to make the hero sympathetic and likeable. I found it a little simplistic.<br /><br />Have you read or posted about Robert McKee's book Story?mooderinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523337588830695638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-15943112780854000742011-05-16T21:27:05.244+10:002011-05-16T21:27:05.244+10:00sounds like it maybe worth a read.
