In reply to Lia. I have not yet read the Novel version of Save the Cat, but I want too! I loved the original and have the "Save the Cat Goes To The Movies" one!

I loved Jessica Brody’s Save the Cat Writes a Novel, as well as Deb Dixon’s Goal-Motivation-Conflict.

The book that really helped me settle into being a writer was Dorothea Brande’s ‘Becoming A Writer’, that was over 15 years ago! Since then, you and Becca, Katie Weiland, ‘Self Editing for Fiction Writers’, Anne R. Allen, Kristen Lamb and others I can’t remember off the top of my head. Thank you so much for your Thesaurus series, an understatement to say they added so much more to my writing.

Wow, Angela…what a packed post! I will always voice how amazing I think you and Becca are, certainly the info you put out there for all of us. Just mind-boggling. YOUR site is a MAJOR resource, to say the least!

i have most of the books you’ve mentioned 🙂 and more which you can see many in this pic: https://writersideup.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/books-my-writing-books.jpg
It’s an old pic and not all my books are there (I have ALL your thesauruses but only 3 are in the pic!). I’ll add to that books by Cheryl Klein (I have SECOND SIGHT which I think MAGIC WORDS is an updated version of: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-magic-words-cheryl-klein/1123447519?ean=9780393292244#/ ) and certainly Uri Shulevitz’s WRITING WITH PICTURES.

I’m all over Katie Weiland’s site and books too. I can’t think of the other sites, but they’re out there!
