DON'T PANIC!

In large, friendly letters.

Here is the format:

Scene 1:

[An ordinary street, at day. Two girls (Angela and Jessica) are walking down the street.]

ANGELA: I mean, girl, can you believe the nerve?

JESSICA: What the Hell are you talking about?

Etc., etc., etc.

The stage directions should be in Italics, or brackets, to differentiate them from the dialogue. Character names should be in CAPS with a : to show who is speaking.

Parentheses should be avoided at all times,likewise underlining.

Writting it is the Easy thing. Getting out of a Block is Hard. I began a New Play two years ago. Have not gotten it done yet.
