Save the Cat!: The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need
by Blake Snyder
Look, a lot of what this dude said was helpful...but he's so insufferably arrogant that it's hard to get through a lot of this book.
If you can deal with terrible attempts at humor and some random guy ranting about how he sold a movie to Disney (never mentioning that it has a whopping 7% on Rotten Tomatoes and features a scene where a thirty-year-old woman kisses an eleven-year-old boy and tells him to "find her in a few years"), then you'll probably find this book a lot more helpful than I did.
Again, he had some valid advice and tips that I'll probably employ in the future, but there's a reason that the cat on the cover is orange, and I wish this book had been written by literally any other screenwriter.
