Pretty basic stuff but still useful to remind oneself of every once and awhile.

Of course this should never be your first go to for screenwriting knowledge. In fact I would say it actually is a nice reminder on elements discussed thoroughly in other books.

Glancing over the tips, you discover that they refresh you process of thinking, if you have hit a block. Currently, I have a copy in my laptop bag to always refresh and remind me of the aspects of screenwriting.

But always be writing.

Excellent book, a quick read but an invaluable resource. I will be referring to this volume quite often. If you are a screenwriter, you need this in your personal library.
