Could be my imagination's just limited these days, but I can't think of a way to spell it out that doesn't have that comic balloon feel and that's probably not what you want for prose fiction.
My two cents, for what it's worth.

You see, I'm writing a novel. (More for practice that anything, really. I probably won't publish it because I don't like to be in the spotlight- I'm too shy for that...) I plan on making a comic version, anime/animated version/cartoon/show, movie, video game, text adventure, music, play, dances, and all kinds of things based off of my novel. Again, they won't be published, as they are only practice and I'm a newbie writer. So I came here and after reading some of these, I just thought "Oh, hey! This is actually helpful! That's great, because I was getting REALLY freaking tired of Googling this stuff..." Anyway, this helped and I just figured I should let you know.
