Emphasising visual storytelling in your writing

Abby Finer & Deborah Pearlman have written, in regard to screenwriting:

Often, writers are so busy focusing on all of the other important elements that they tend to overlook what the audience might be watching while the dialogue is being spoken. Making a scene visually interesting will make your script look very polished. Place the characters in interesting situations while they engage in conversation.

Write a dialogue scene (prose or screenwriting) in which you engage the reader with visual description between the dialogue.

If you'd like to write a screenplay scene but don't know how to format it, you can download free screenwriting software from www.celtx.com, or a free trial version of Final Draft at www.finaldraft.com
