In my opinion, you should write screenplays, too. It’s so much easier and so much helpful. And here are the reasons why:
1) It helps you to write the important stuff only. A screenplay has a strict style. If you wanna show that the character’s mind speaks, you have to use voice over. If you wanna write an argument, you have to write the dialogues and the action. Not more. No character’s thought. No info dumping.
2) It helps to train to find the perfect word. How I told ya in No. 1, you can’t use every sentence you like. That’s why it’s important to choose the words carefully. And that’s helpful in novel writing, too.
3) Every exercise is good. So, it isn’t a time-wasting.
But what’s your opinion on this topic?
