Book Reviews of How to Write a Movie in 21 Days: The Inner Movie Method
Book Review: Terrific Little Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a terrific little book! I agree with the general thrust of many other reviewers - Good solid information (so much of this literature is utter trash and worthless filler), quite motivating. And - no - you won't write a movie in 21 days BUT you will at least finish a first draft. For those like me who have started numerous scripts and finished none of them that is something! I can understand why this book seems to have a very fervent following of almost AA/Amway intensity. I've purchased 40 or more books on screen writing and story writing. I'm adding '21 Days' to my short list along with: Screenplay/Syd Fields, Screenwriter's Bible/David Trottier, Story/Robert McKee, The Key/James Frey and The Art of Dramitic Writing/Lajos Egri.Book Review: Best Resource I've ever used for scripts and even short stories. Ever!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read many writing books and this is one that works for any type of writing. With this book, you can write a script or at least a decent rough draft in 21 days. I took a month and was able to do two drafts. One by hand and the other when I transferred the draft to computer. The author's warm and encouraging voice along with the way she breaks the task of writing a longer work are extremely helpful and motivating. I'd recommend this excellent, easy to read text to any of my writer friends and plan to use it in any workshop I give related to writing a script, novel or even a longer short story. The system she provides really works and has lots of application to any genre.
Terrific doesn't cover it.
Book Review: even i could write a script!
Summary: 5 Stars
hey, listen up! you just have to read/buy this book! it helped my confidence soar about writing a script, i never could have done it without her: thanks, ms king. i have written plays before and one movie script (they all bombed), and i was feeling sooo low. when i saw this book i bought it right away. now i have a movie script: "Suit". coming soon to a town near you. the weird part of this is: i'm 13 years old. i love to write now, and it's because of you, ms. king. i owe it all to you. feel free to contact me (everyone) at the email address above.Book Review: If you can't get past page 60...
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a working screenwriter, and this is the only screenwriting book I recommend. Why? Most of the screenwriting books out there are very useful - for rewriting. This book actually gets you to complete the first draft - a huge hurdle for beginning writers. You probably won't finish in 21 days, and the draft you write probably won't be very good. But that doesn't matter, because you will finish a draft, and then you can rewrite it and make it good.
I still use this book to clarify my thinking, or if I'm on a tight deadline.
Book Review: Spiritual Methoud to ScreenWriting That Works!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book and it's method is fantastic and relative to the professional writer still waiting on the big break and the beginer still just wishing...Sit down, read it, then do the work. You won't even notice what a better person you'll become in the process...and the side effect is becoming a better writer. I keep this book by my bedside and in every luggage...Luck has nothing to do with writing a great script. It's all about; a good idea and an even better technique...This book will help you discover how YOU can get both.
