Blake Snyder 1957-2009
Screenwriter, teacher, and author of SAVE THE CAT, Blake Snyder has passed away today and I am so deeply saddened.
He was a wonderful teacher and a beautiful, inspiring person with a generosity of spirit seldom seen.
He will be greatly missed.
Rest in Peace.
Im sorry.... i wish there was something I could do...
ReplyDeletejust a couple of days ago I was down in laguna beach! I went to emarald bay... it was fun.
Aww... That was some upsetting news, may he rest in peace.
ReplyDeletePeri- Thanks, he was a truly wonderful person! Emerald Bay is beautiful--lucky you!!
ReplyDeleteHey Claire-- I know, so unexpected!! I never begin a story without his "beat sheet" so I guess he'll always be with us in that way!
Hi, Alyson. I came over here as soon as I heard because I knew you'd know the sense of loss I was going through. I am glad I came, because your sense that he'll always be with us through his "beat sheet" is making me smile for the first time since I heard the news.
ReplyDeletePamela- It's just devastating, isn't it? My heart has been heavy all day. He was so genuinely positive and upbeat--truly one of a kind.
ReplyDeleteOh that's so sad. Do you know what happened? Well we was an amazing person. May he rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteUhm, sorry to be so off-topic, but if you have some extra time, could you critique the beginning of a short story I am writing? It's ok if you don't have time, but if you do, I would really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteHey Alissa-- Apparently he suffered a heart attack. He'll be greatly missed!
ReplyDeleteWell, that answers that. I was going to ask if you'd heard about this. I just found out on Pamela Cayne's blog. So, so sad. He was brilliant and so full of life.
ReplyDeleteHey Caryn- Yes, so terribly sad.
ReplyDeleteVery sad
ReplyDeleteCoco- Indeed.
