The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Storytellers and Screenwriters was highly recommended when I was reading Joseph Cambell's Hero with a Thousand Faces . Using Campbell's Monomyth narrative structure, Christopher Vogler offers concrete advice for writers of stories and screenplays using examples from film blockbusters from American Graffitti to the Wizard of Oz. The second edition has been updated with references to such recent films as Titanic and The Full Monty.
The book offers excellent advice and easy techniques for adding structure and emotional depth to stories. Very highly recommended!
