Several weeks ago my old friend Pete told me to get the book Save the Cat by Blake Snyder. Now, I'm certainly no authority on screenwriting and have not yet sold a screenplay developed by Mr. Snyder's process, but I am at least a bit of a journeyman, if not an expert, about Process. From that perspective I really liked what Mr. Syder had to say, and thought it a worthwhile endeavor to try my hand at the Blake Snyder Method.
If nothing else, at least it caught my interest enough to get me motivated to try my hand at writing a screenplay. That's worth the cover price in my opinion.
As a side note - the book is a highly entertaining read.
Anyway, as an added motivator, I decided to post my progress in a place where my friends could chide me into keeping up a reasonable pace. That's where this comes in.
As another side note - I plan to post a number of other writing projects here.
So, here's the result of the first step of the Blake Snyder Method - the one liner and title:
A witch hunter from a secret Vatican order forms an unholy alliance to take down a servant of Hell before she can strike again - Dark Disciple
