All the Charts Mentioned in the Book (and Some That Aren’t)

I just got an email from a book reader who pointed out that I promise readers that they’ll find some charts on my blog, but those charts aren’t actually easy to find here. So here’s the afterword of the book, annotated with where you can find these things on the blog:

Thanks for reading! For more advice, examples, and bonus material, please visit SecretsOfStory.com. You’ll find:

• Career advice, including sections on how to write every day, give and receive notes, launch your career, find representation, meet with buyers, and sell challenging material
• Two dozen examples of films analyzed according to the Ultimate Story Checklist. (You can find all of these in the sidebar. Many of them are done according to version 5 of the checklist, whereas the book has version 6, but I’m in the process of updating them. Meanwhile, I created a massive spreadsheet of all the v5 answers for every movie.  You can also download a template copy of the checklist at the above link)
• A massive chart that helps clarify the difference between the goals, long-standing social problems, flaws, and the dramatic question.
• A chart that compares my proposed structure to those of other gurus.
• An in-depth series of articles on the fundamental differences between different media, especially books vs. movies.
• A series of instructional articles that address how to write a pilot episode of an ongoing series.
• A supplemental version of the Ultimate Story Checklist specifically tailored to pilot stories.(You can download that, too)
• A dozen examples of popular TV pilots analyzed according to the pilot checklist. (Check the sidebar)

Bonus, I’ve finally started using Google Docs not SendSpace for the downloads, so hopefully the links won’t constantly die.

And hey, good news: The book seems to be doing well!  I’m happy to report that I’m up to 25 reviews on Amazon: 24 five-stars and one four-star. And remember, you can also get the book on audio on Amazon or at this link!
