Are there any reliable books or guides for beginning screenwriters or playwrights online? I've been told that since I am much more of a visual writer that turning my writing into scripts for Japanese animation or a drama might help with my execution in writing. I have no experience in the film industry but I have been reading scripts from www.buffyworld.com. I just need things like terminology and basic stuff I'd need to learn. Thanks
