《救猫咪》内容简介
现在，小说要与无数影视作品一同争抢读者的注意力。作者不仅需要和同行竞争，还需要和影视编剧们竞争。向电影编剧们学习——然后超越他们，这就是杰西卡·布罗迪创作这本书的目标。
与电影一样，小说创作并非没有套路，人们会被同一主题、同一元素的故事吸引，会把这些故事读上一遍又一遍。从《奥德赛》到《饥饿游戏》，从但丁到斯蒂芬·金，从经典名著到热门的畅销小说，无数小说和故事创造了不同的幻想和精彩，但它们共享的是同样的主题和模式。找到这些内在模式，就相当于手握读者心门的钥匙。
在学习了电影编剧界有口皆碑的“救猫咪”创作法后，作者找到了这个套路，卖出了15本小说。为了让这一创作方法更好地服务于小说家们，她进行了更新升级，改编出了这本创作指南。作者对小说必备的15个情节动点进行了分析，并结合10部热门小说，详细解析10种经典故事类型，指引写作者们把握故事必要元素和创作公式。此外，作者还提供了场景卡等写作工具，让写作者高效地将想法转化为小说，享受创作的乐趣。

"Save the Cat" content introduction
Novels now compete for readers' attention alongside countless films and television productions. Writers not only have to compete with their peers, but also with screenwriters. Learning from screenwriters - and then surpassing them - is Jessica Brody's goal in creating this book.
Like movies, fiction is not without its patterns. People are drawn to stories with the same themes and elements, and will read them over and over again. From The Odyssey to The Hunger Games, from Dante to Stephen King, from classics to hit bestsellers, countless novels and stories have created different fantasies and wonderments, but they share the same themes and patterns. Finding these inner patterns is the equivalent of holding the key to the reader's mind.
After learning how to "save the cat," a popular method in screenwriting circles, the author found the formula and sold 15 novels. In order to make this method better serve novelists, she has updated and adapted this guide. The author analyzes the 15 essential plot points of the novel, and combines 10 popular novels to analyze 10 classic story types in detail, guiding writers to grasp the essential elements of the story and the creation formula. In addition, the author also provides writing tools such as scene cards, so that the writer can efficiently transform the idea into a novel and enjoy the fun of creation.
