Books
If you're going to buy only one other book about screenwriting (besides my ebook, Hollywood Scriptwriting), I can heartily recommend a book that is profound, inspiring, and easy to read - the industry "bible" of storytelling:
"The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure For Storytellers & Screenwriters,"
by Christopher Vogler.
Other valuable reference books are:
