Recently, I finished Save the Cat by Blake Snyder. It’s a book on writing screenplays. I found it similar to Story Engineering by Larry Brooks. Make no mistake, they are different books, but they describe the same thing: fundamental story structure, though using different terms. This story structure has been with us for centuries, and we’re used to seeing it.
I’m an author living in northern Virginia with a wife and a cat. In the late ’80s, I worked on the International Space Station project. I recently retired from managing a group of software engineers to focus on writing science fiction and speculative fiction. Learn more.
