      This really sucks. I was kinda looking forward to meeting him at the Expo in October.

      My prayers are with his family.

        I'm speechless.

        And that's saying something.

        RIP Blake Snyder.

          Awful news. His book was sitting on my desk as I read that.

          Today marks 5 years for me since I was diagnosed with cancer, so I was celebrating that. And then this happens, re-forcing why I'm celebrating in the first place as it could end anytime.

          He was always helpful via email and I loved his books.

          His last email to me was:

          Great! Really pleased for you Matthew! Good luck!

          He was just full of life. I hope one day I can help as many writers as he did.

                    He was an amazing guy -- always ready to share his knowledge and experience. I had a question after reading "Save the Cat" the first time through and e-mailed him. He responded and I had the opportunity to correspond with him several times. Not a trace of "Hollywood", no ego....just a writer with a sincere desire to help other writers.

                    Blake, you'll not be forgotten....RIP.

                      In 2005, Stephanie Palmer/Good In A Room suggested I buy Blake's book and contact him. I did. And my writing life would never be the same.

                      Personally, I was fortunate to meet Blake a handful of times, heard him speak on various topics and traded a couple hundred emails with him over the years -- as he did with many writers.

                      This is a loss, not only for the screenwriting community and film industry, but for all the lives Blake would touch with never-ending positive energy, patience and enthusiasm.

                      Blake was a true conduit for passionate pursuit of screenwriting, movies and story.

                      If we can all bring just a fraction of his patience, energy and hope - we can make this world a better place.

                      Rest in peace, buddy.
                      a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Pearl Buck

                        I'm so shocked to hear this... what a loss to our world. He was way too young, i don't understand how he could have passed so unexpected like this. His analysis on writing screenplays will certainly live forever. He's one of a kind.

                            Me too. I loved the first one. What a tragedy.

                              My first pitch meeting - at Universal - mentioned they had just bought STOP OR MY MOTHER WILL SHOOT - told Blake this - good for a laugh.

                              Loved his 2nd CAT book, hope they come out with the 3rd.

                                I met him almost one year ago to the date at the UFVA Conference. A very nice guy. Shortly thereafter I started using Save the Cat in my screenwriting class at BU. I will continue to do so in memoriam. This is surprising and sad.
