Blake Snyder RIP 1952 - 2009

Oh my god! Say it isn't true.

This was my response when in brought up Blakesnyder.com and read the post that he had passed away yesterday morning.

For those of us who knew Blake, it will be a loss beyond compare. He was one of the kindest, loving men I have ever had the privilege to know.

He was a screenwriter's writer. He had written over 70 screenplays. Blake loved his craft and writers of all kinds. He loved story. In his book "Save the Cat" he laid out a simple structure that illuminated what makes a great story great. His gift was to share what he learned with thousands of writers around the world.

I will miss Blake as a friend and a mentor. God Bless his family and many friends.

Blake loved dramatic twist endings.
