Hey, I'm going out to purchase (2)books dealing with screen writing or directing.

I've already decided to purchase - Directing Actors
but as far as screen writing goes, I'm not sure if I should purchase Save the cat or How to Write a Movie in 21 Days?

Eventually, I will purchase both, but today I am only able to get one. Which should I choose, based off your experience with these books?




BTW: I already own and have read "Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting, by Syd Field."
(Just incase it helps your decision)




Thanks

"How To Write A Movie in 21 Days" is a great little book. Recaps the basics of structure, but really opens your eyes into how to get your head out of the way so you can write the story that's in your heart.
 
I'd like to second Barry's recommendation. Though the title is a bit "too good to be true", the process provided in the book is a great method to use for structuring and writing a first, and possibly second, draft of your script.

She does a great job of taking you through a process that gets the story that you are dying to tell down on paper.
