I’ve recently rewritten my latest script BLUNT FORCE and blogged about it at The TrubyPhiles. Check it out.

As I recount there, I recently found and read John Truby’s book, The Anatomy of Story and not only did I love it, I wanted to do a combination “product demo” and book review of it. Years ago I took Truby’s Classic Story Structure as well as Action screenwriting classes and used them to great effect in my subsequent writing. I believe that John Truby’s work is far superior in detail, clarity and flexibility to that of Robert McKee, Syd Field, or any of the other screenwriting gurus out there.

So, I took the occasion of doing my third rewrite of BLUNT FORCE as a way of putting to work what John writes about in his book, chapter by chapter. The TrubyPhiles (http://thetrubyphiles.wordpress.com/) is also intended as a clubhouse where other graduates of Truby’s classes, or folks avidly interested in becoming working writers, can share comments and questions related to the art and science of storytelling.

Please check it out and say hello!
