RIP Blake Snyder 1957-2009

DateAug 2009

As a part of my self-syllabused screenwriting education I have been considering attending Blake Snyder's workshop in NYC in mid-August this year. Now that chance lost along with so much potential for education and who knows how many great screenplays guided down a sucessful road. Snyder passed away suddenly yesterday leaving his "Save the Cat!" books and methods as his legacy, a legacy that inspired, shaped and guides screenwriters everywhere, including the writing group I regularly attend.

Read a great tribute to Blake in the Examiner and check out Blake's site for more information about his screenwriting technique. And of course, keep Blake's memory alive by reading his books and writing great screenplays.
