I am attempting to do something totally different for my next story: do it as if it was a script for a play. If anybody has any experience in that format they are willing to share, I'd love to get feedback ...

Comments

I have some.

I have some.

How would you like to proceed ?

I wouldn't worry so much

I wouldn't worry so much about the format....just yet.

Story is royal so stage directions can wait.

Formatting is a pain though, as they will pass on your screen/drama play if its not in the correct form, but there are programs and templates out there to assist.

Also,
If you post it to this site, the formatting will be thrown off unless you use HTML formatting within the original document or redo it all. I've noticed that the screenplays I submitted even if I had them centered and blocked correctly, everything will justify to the left and any simultaneous lines become issues.

For what it's worth

For what it's worth, I avoid reading scripts or screenplays. I find the format too distracting.

Unfortunatly I have to agree with DAB

And it's why you'll never find that many (if any at all) screen play/movie scripts sold at bookstores.

We the willing, led by the unsure. Have been doing so much with so little for so long,
We are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
