RIP Blake

News spread quickly among the writing community of the sudden death by cardiac arrest of Blake Snyder this morning. The impact that he has made for budding and seasoned screenwriters is absolutely staggering. His book Save the Cat! became nothing less than a movement, changing the ways scribes approached the process of creating. He helped me break-through in a couple of stories as well as help me do coverage on other scripts. Several others have elaborated about his life and contributions, particularly in the Examiner as well as on Tracey Jackson's website. Rest in peace, Blake. You will be missed.
