Are there any good books/sites about adapting books? Besides the movie Adaptation, I mean. I just read Day of the Triffids, and now I'm watching the 1962 movie. Yikes. The book is SO similar to The Walking Dead, I'm surprised it hasn't been re-made.

Because when it comes to the art of it, one of the more useful things to do is just compare and contrast books and their film adaptations. Note similarities and differences in story, character, tone. Think critically about why each choice was made and turn that same critical thinking towards the book you want to adapt. What makes the work cinematic? What makes the story worth telling in a different medium?

Are scripts only (publicly) available online if they're submitted for consideration for awards? Is there a particular site I can scour for movie scripts?

I know you said you want to do exercises instead of reading, so, check out this article about the six emotional story arcs, and write a 2-paragraph synopsis for each type?
