Are Screenwriters Banging their Heads Against a Brick Wall?

I normally base my structures on the 8 point arc. It is straightforward for me when writing short stories. I guess that in longer stories you can loop that into a substructure of a main 8 point arc to make characters grow.

I know there is also the type of narration to have in mind when setting it all up. Anyway, I love to learn and apply all those things!

Thanks for the suggestion! I going to look for that book. I'll get back to you once I've read it! One I still read is "Story" from Robert Mckee. It really inspires me to not forget what is important telling a story!

Peace and Blessings!

Watts’ ‘Eight Point Arc’ and the the Greek ‘three act play’ are often the basis of the approach to writing a novel, I think. I’ve had little or no experience in the former. So don’t Left me lead you astray if it’s a novel you wish to write. ‘Save the Cat’ is all about screenplay and films!
