Plot Points and Hero's Journey Revisited
Today I found this excellent diagram showing the plot points - I like this because Daniel has plotted the internal journey along the Hero's journey. This would be useful for any screen writer.

Pixar's 22 Rules of Storytelling
I didn't know about this until a few days ago a screen writer friend told about this:

And then I found these:

More Writing Resources
I found some nice resources that can help any writer. Check out the following - they seem interesting:

While that blog post collects various generators some links seem to be broken. I have managed to list a few links here for convenience:
Plot suggestions
Sticky situations generator
Random Story Generator
- for some reason this didn't work for me; probably I have to enable AxtiveX controls
Character's physical characteristics generator
Motive generator
Character quirk generator
Name generator
City map generator
All generators in one
Another collection of generators
Yet another generator
Some more generators
Now for some links that are very different from the above:
