I totally understand your point. You see, I have a hard time being descriptive. I have autism, so it kind of limits my storytelling abilities. The way I write stories without a script format is awful: I keep using the same narrative devices and phrases over and over, and I’m not so good with my quotation marks, either. I hope you understand.
Script format is very good for things like screenplay and comics' scripts, so it's not all that bad. However, you should also put some descriptions in the middle. Brief example:
- Giovanni's office. There is only darkness and the flashing lights of the screens. Giovanni's Persian is sleeping on the floor besides Giovanni.
Giovanni: [angry, bellowing tone, pointing his finger at Dr. Namba] YOU'RE FIRED!
- Giovanni's Persian wakes up, staring at his master with a curious expression.
In this way, you can be more descriptive while also giving a bit more of atmosphere.
