At a loss for words. This is a shock.

Very sad news, I exchanged a few emails with Blake a couple years ago, he was very nice.

I bought and read his book "Save the Cat" and responded to his challenge about Memento. The guy actually wrote back and we entered into a dialogue about screenwriting - how many authors would do that for an aspiring writer, even one all the over in the UK who he has never met and sadly won't this side of the great divide? This is seriously damaging news to many of us who need guidance in our art, thankfully we still have GITS - See Ya Blake, it's been a slice!

Wow. The one friend of mine (outside the industry) who "actively" keeps tabs on my writing, suggested Snyder's book to me a few weeks back. What a shocking coincidence. Forgive me for saying so bluntly, but... this sucks.

This is very sad news. I always recommend "Save the Cat" to my first-time screenwriters. Such a loss.

This is awful news. He was a very kind human being. : (
