Several of my previous novels have started out as scripts. I find that writing a fairly bare-bones script that gets expanded into a proper prose novel later on works much better for me than starting out with prose. I can mostly focus on getting words down and leave descriptions and such for later stages of revisions and editing.

But what if I don't expand a script into a novel? What if I leave the script as it is – obviously with a few rounds of revisions – and never do the prose conversion parts?

I think this is something I should seriously consider in 2026.
