Reviews for Something Startling Happens: The 120 Story Beats Every Writer Needs to Know

"""Having sold over 100 scripts and written for virtually every network and studio, I learned early how vital structure was to crafting a successful script. This book can be an invaluable tool in building a professional career."" -- Marc Scott Zicree, The Twilight Zone Companion, Star Trek - The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Babylon 5 ""A dazzling new nuts-a-bolts story guide that reveals the extremely important ""in betweens"" left out in other screenwriting books. The perfect companion to Blake Snyder's Save The Cat."" -- John Philip Dayton (Executive Producer, Director, Writer, The Waltons, Eight Is Enough, Matlock, The Ray Bradbury Theatre). Todd Klick demystifies how to approach the script-writing process. He will give you tons of ""aha"" thoughts, and will help you interpret story in a way that will give you answers. -- Jen Grisanti, author of Story Line: Finding Gold In Your Life Story, Writing Instructor for Writers on the Verge with NBC, blogger for The Huffington Post"
