One book I always have with me when I am writing is Karl Iglasis' "Writing for emotional impact". It has a barrage of tips and tricks on getting the right emotional impact out of any type of scene you are writing. It may be something you open up after you've learnt your structure and basics, but it is a great way to add your voice to the script. Unk, didn't mean to step on your large toes, just adding my two cents. Ryan,

How the hell are ya? Long time no hear from! I don't remember reading those two scripts... LOL. Funny, that question was just asked of me earlier in an email... I imagine I can throw something up by the end of the series... It has drastically changed since your copy. We won't tell anyone who you are but bobbie is a highly sought after pro screenwriter. Thanks for stopping by. Unk bobbie… How the hell are ya? Long time no hear from! I don’t remember reading those two scripts… LOL.

I don't necessarily recommend his books to learn from although I have certainly read them all. Especially since at the time I read them, there wasn't a lot available TO read. I would definitely read his books when you have the time and you've already read and maintain THOSE books that you want to have within reach while you're writing. If you check out the forum, I've got a list of books there that will definitely get you started. Lucy, I've never had a pringle in my life... Are they really that good? Unk Ryan,

They make tons of sense. Things that I don't even think about. I can totally see the character arc in the movies that I watch. Like I said before, I'm new to all this screenwriting and just learning on my own. I've been going to the library to check out some books. I don't want to buy any cause I don't know which are good or bad. Can you shed some light on this for me? Is Syd Field a good author? That's the only guy that has a couple different books there, and I've been reading them. Since I'm new to this, what he's said makes sense to me, just like what you have said. Who's/what's a good book and who's not? I'm interested in comedies, where's a good place to learn about that type of screenplay or is it all going to be the same whether it's comedy, action, drama, etc....? Thanks for your time.
