You don’t need dialogue to tell a story. You do need to know how to describe what you see in order to relay that to the reader.
- For me, I write stream of thought to begin with. I type with my eyes closed and whatever I see, I type. Then I go back and change/polish where it will definitely be needed.
- If you don’t think that works for you, you might try doing the same thing, but with your eyes open, and writing down bullet points for the high spots of the action, with the idea you will know/remember the in between parts.
- If you are artistic, as in sketching or painting, then sketch the scenes out as well.
Storytelling without a single word spoken.
An animated short by Wes Ball, the director of the Maze Runner Trilogy.
If you’re not a fan of animation, this is short and a chase scene. You will forget all about the animation part as the drone starts chasing the man on the motorcycle.
The actual short is about 7 and half minutes long, with the rest being credits.
If you want to do some practice in writing an action sequence, try doing so with this video. only 7:30 long. How much time and typing could that take?
