Act out your scenes with action figures as you outline (or do it while you write the script if you don't outline). It'll help you visualize the scenes and come up with ideas.

Thanks, Mark Deuce. I'll probably rest and write this weekend. And watch movies and TV. Got any plans for the weekend?

I didn't think about Lego, John Kennedy. You could build props, vehicles, and locations too.

What a great idea! Though I prefer to speak out my dialogue this is definitely a fun and great way to exercise dialogue!

Thanks, Sam Rivera. Writers can also do voices for the action figures to come up with dialogue and test it out.

Doing the voices is a great idea.
