Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good read
Review: A series of interesting interviews with successful screenwriters. All of them have written popular,
successful films you've heard of. Each writer gets 10-15 pages to answer a variety of questions.

What I like best about this is seeing each person's approach
to and perceptions about screenwriting. Some resonated a
lot with me, some not so much, but I see how many ways there
are to be successful. I was surprised, actually, by how
many of them just start writing with minimal idea of where
they're headed, and let the characters and story overtake them.
