STORY MAPS: A QUICK INTRODUCTION:
Excerpt from the Introduction to
Story Maps: Writing the GREAT Screenplay:If you’re serious about your craft, and you’re in this
for the long haul, you’ll focus on writing the best
script you can, to start impressing industry folks
so you can get those meetings and snag that agent
and scrape and claw your way toward actually
making some money at this crazy endeavor.But it’s gotta get past that first reader if it’s going
anywhere.I know, because I was one. A “Studio Reader.”
A professional Story Analyst.That’s my perspective. Where I'm coming from.
You may have read other books written by
screenwriters or lecturers or academics.This is not that book.
I’m going to be tough on you.
I’m going to strip it down.
I’m going to keep this book short and to the point,
with all the fat trimmed and focused only on the
crucial information.Just like I like my scripts.
I promise you that I’m ONLY going to give you
“real world” advice and insight, based on what I
learned from reading tons of scripts (and
novels, too) on the job as a Story Analyst, a teacher
and a writing coach.And I’m telling you: it can’t just be “good.”
It must be GREAT.
Because all that matters is if that Reader wants
to turn the page at 3 A.M. That’s it.Unless your uncle invented Stretch Armstrong.
But we should ALL be so lucky.
