Experienced wisdom full these pages

This book spoke to me in a way that few others have. After consuming numerous books on the subject I found myself feeling a bit overwhelmed. Kill the Dog eliminated the barrier and after reading it I wrote my first scene. My thanks to Paul Guyot!

Aha Moment!

Wow, tell us what you really think! Finally some truth and insight. This book was filled with eye opening, light bulbs popping off moments. Spoiler alert, Daisy survives and kills Felix in the end. Excellent journey down the Wabbit hole to find your true voice. My red pill moment hit me in Chapter 11, igniting my own voice. Thank you Paul for all the truth bombs and paving the way. You can read all my books for me anytime!
Easy listening, funny, honest & raw! A gem and a keeper,
I think I’ll listen again…more please A+++

Best Book

A solid book about the truth in anything in life: there is no easy way, no short cut, no cheat to become successful. It takes hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. I have nothing but respect for Paul Guyot for his words of advice for not just screenwriting, but other aspects of life. If you want to learn about screenwriting AND are willing to give it everything you got chasing that vision, this book is perfect for you! Thank you Paul!

The author’s sense of humor and unabashed honesty.

This book is absolutely spectacular.

At first I thought to myself “I could have saved hundreds of dollars and years of my life if I’d just read this book before the others!”

Then I realized:
A) The book was only published the year before I read it and
B) If I hadn’t read the other books first, I wouldn’t have appreciated how spot-on this one is!
