Highly recommended book!

Absolutely loved this book! Great point of view and advice! Will listen to many times!

Great Audiobook

Would you listen to Finish the Script! again? Why?

The audiobook grabs you from the introduction and doesn't let go until the end. I'm a new author and probably made just about every mistake a new writer can make with a book. Most of my writer friends told me that I published a rough draft. As I listened to the audiobook narrated by Eric Michael Summerer, I began to understand what I did wrong with my current Science Fiction novella.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Finish the Script!?

I found the ending very good where the screenwriter changes the beginning of the story after the first draft making it much better than the original beginning.

What does Eric Michael Summerer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Eric does such a great job that you feel the author is talking directly to you. He has an engaging voice and makes the audiobook much better than if you read the book.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

I enjoyed the part where the screenwriter decides how Eugene using his Science Fair trophy repairs his daughter's game board project that he destroyed earlier. I enjoyed the whole scene about the bullies and how Eugene fooled them with a decoy.

Any additional comments?

I love audiobooks and hate to read a book. Most writers enjoy reading, which makes me an odd duck. I had an audiobook made for my Science Fiction novella, "A Strange Feeling of Deja Vu." Kyle Munley did a great job with the story. However, there is only so much a narrator can do with a book. The book has to be a good read to start with. Scott King's, "Finish the Script" is one of those books.

This is THE book for Screenwriters & Writers!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It's the perfect audiobook for anyone interested in writing. It walks you through the whole process and sure it's aimed at screenwriting it's really helped me plan out a novel I've been working on.

What other book might you compare Finish the Script! to and why?

"Finish the Script!" is a streamed lined less abstract version of "Save the Cast!" Instead of theories and philosophies you get practical information that will help guide you through the writing process.

What does Eric Michael Summerer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

"Finish the Script!" is a mix of lectures, assignments, and example pages from a screenplay. Eric magically managed to bring all three together so that they really meshed and felt distinct. I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job at reading the book.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

I loved "Virigin Dad," the fake screenplay within the book. Watching the characters get created and then getting to know them as they were fleshed out was fantastic. Not only will I remember them and their story but seeing their journey has helped me become a better writer.

Virgin Dad Ain't So Bad

I was impressed. I think most will take something from it. Just over 4 hours means you can finish it rather quickly. Its important to get your ideas down now, and worry about the rewrite later. He does it in real time with the screenplay he creates, and works on during the audio book called "Virgin Dad." I know that sounds weird, but the process was interesting. He gives you some tips through out it. Def worth a listen.

Essentials

Easy to follow guide that doesn't fall into the trap of vague description. Developing a script as part of writing the book was a genius and simple way to show authentic process in action. I'm sure I'll be listening to this straight forward advice when developing my first original script, as I've focused on more adaptation in my screenwriting.
