: Re: How do I write less like a screenplay? I've come to notice I have a very specific manner of writing. Specifically, I've noticed that while I'm writing a book, I tend to pace and set up things

In my opinion, there is no problem with using a screenplay-esque style.
I have used a more visually descriptive style for some chapters in my books; it is quite helpful at times in building suspense.
You must use whatever narrative style you think fits your plot. Whatever helps you best unravel the story is okay. There's no dos and don'ts in writing.
It is okay if you want to take a more visual perspective to what is going on instead of delving into the psychology of characters - if you want the actions to speak for you rather than words.
Believe me, it is not a problem at all.
