Ink Spots: Collected Writings on Story Structure, Filmmaking and Craftsmanship

I picked this up after having read Brian's INVISIBLE INK and his graphic novel OLD SOULS, looking for more of Brian's thoughts. It didn't disappoint! A compilation of his blog posts, this is a great dive into some of Brian's musings on the craft and a worthy pick up to go along with Invisible Ink. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking to improve on their craft or understand storytelling in general.

Brian McDonald is brilliant, clear, inspiring.

I've been following Brian McDonald's Invisible Ink Blog for years. When I heard that he was going to collect his best posts into a book, I knew I had to get it. Brian's blog posts have taught me so much about the craft of writing, storytelling, and story structure, but also about great movies and what makes these movies great. Whenever I need some inspiration, a pep talk, or am feeling down about my writing and just need a break, I read one of Brian's essays in Ink Spots. Takes just five minutes or so, then I'm back in the game. Buy the book for yourself and then buy one for each of your writer friends--they'll love you for it!

McDonald's books are valuable assets for all authors, especially those writing screenplays. Succinct, and informative, I am a big fan.

Useful book!
