There are as many books on writing as one can imagine, most of them useless, in my opinion. (What I don't want is a rambling pep talk. I want nuts-and-bolts how-to-do-it information.) The two towering exceptions are Viki King's movie book and James Frey's "How to Write a Damn Good Novel II." (Don't bother with the first volume.) Don't make the mistake of passing on this book if you're writing something OTHER THAN a screenplay. The content is relevant and highly valuable to any narrative writing. These two books contain clearly laid-out approaches to solid writing with well-supported ideas and principles. Great stuff. Really, with these two books, you have only yourself to blame for not finally blasting out your masterpiece.
This book is easy to read and detailed. The examples it provides helps with understanding what is required to write a movie.
