Re: Timings to specific page
There are one billion business books telling people how to do 10000 careers -- so don't think it's just screenwriters....
Also it always seems the people at the top (pro screenwriters) don't like these books and the people on the bottom who think they are the best writers ever are the most likely to hate these books -- but that leaves the people like me in the middle who may just enjoy reading any books about screenwriting.
I know one thing for sure -- those screenwriting books are a lot more helpful than 95% of the posts on this board. And yet people dismiss the books and will take off handed comment by strangers as gospel. So that's always fun.
My friend is a doctor and he studied for 8 years. And he said first day as a doctor he knew nothing. So he learned on the job. Same for screenwriting. It's nice to have some books to guide you -- but you will only truly learn by doing. Like anything else.
