Not that I'm suggesting that we all start writing screenplays but Write Screenplays That Sell the Ackerman Way by Hal Ackerman is a good read. It talks a lot about story and how to tell one. In a movie context of course but keeping you audience sitting down and watching (or reading) has a lot in common between the screen and a book.

He also describes a method using 3x5 cards to build a story. It may result in a bit of a short novel but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.
