Books on writing scripts?

R

Hey guys,

So after 2 failed attempts at writing a script, I realize that it's not my strongest talent. I always have cool ideas (at least I think so) but I can never develop and finish them. I just can't seem to get the details down; I'm always thinking of the big picture.

I feel that what I need is a guideline to guide me through the process. Anyone know any good books, or any other resources, that could help me at least finish a first draft? I'm sure if I can finish the first draft, the rest should be easy, but getting a first draft done is just so damn hard!!!

I need help! Thanks.

I'd advise you to search through some of the forum's older posts. You can find more detailed and explicit information on said books than what I can offer. I'll tell you what I can, but, still, that's not too much.

I can only recommend two books for screenwriting. One of which is David Trottier's The Screenwriter's Bible, and the other is Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces.

I have others, but I haven't used them much. These are the ones I use the most.
