User blog comment:MaverickGuy720/Script format or Novel format?/@comment-31022739-20170604231709

Ten times out of ten, I go for novel format. Script format may be easier but it heavily restricts the tone and setting of your story by leaving them barebones for the sake of a hastily and vastly inferior alternative. Just reading dialogue and a brief explanation of transition scenes isn't that engaging and that's what script format traditionally displays. Novel format may need more thought and time dedicated to the story but I think the tradeoff in quality is worth it.
