When thinking about scenes and story ideas, I can't help but picture something playing out as a movie. It's so much easier to _picture_ someone moving and doing things than to actually _describe_ what they are doing and write about it. I understand that this would make it easier for me to grasp what is happening in the story but my reader will not see what I see. How can I stop viewing my writing as a film or how can I put the scene I picture in my head into words that make sense on a page?
