Some NWW philosophies about various aspects of SCRIPTING for stage and screen: "I write STAGEPLAYS to use intense dialogue and minimal action directives to create vivid, credible characters that will motivate actors and directors to pull the audience into "living the moment" on stage." "I write SCREENPLAYS to create the depth of a novel, the immediacy of a short story, the intense imagery of poetry, and the compact, multi-layered dialogue of stageplays in the professionally demanding format of 100-120 pages, focusing on visuals that will stimulate the imaginations of the collaborative cinematic team."
