This review is from: Writing A Great Script Fast: Part 2 Brainstorming For Story Ideas (Amazon Instant Video)

For the serious writer who is ready to start taking their plots to the next level; Sheridan's text is an amazing way to brainstorm your ideas and lay them them out in a cohesive way. Sheridan's guide is a step by step fully integrated program for building scripts which will grab your reader and engage your viewer on every page.

This guide is different because it works backwards, by examining the structure of existing classic and popular scripts to really engage with what makes a Great script work. Sheridan breaks down the elements of pacing, timing, plot flow, character development and suspense, until they are deciperable and understandable. Her instructions are almost like creating engineering templates for each genres. Follow the template and fit in your unique characters, plot twists, descriptions and screen shots, and VOILA, you just wrote a script in 2 weeks!

Or at least, I did.

I'm not bragging, but really I did. Using WRITING A GREAT SCRIPT FAST I took a messy pile of chopped up art school musings, and transformed them into a slick and understandable comic read that I would not be embarrassed to give to my college professor, my snobby uncle, or that guy who knows that one agent. Really, it's not that I had to sell short my creativity-- it's that I had see what made successful films and plays watchable -- across the board-- and then allow my story to DO THAT. That's all, and now I can submit.

Thanks you guys for making it real and readable!
