I just called my brother the other day because I needed to write a fight scene with a wizard and all I could think of was the emperor on Star Wars and how lightning shoots out of his hands. My brother ended up helping me rethink my entire plot. All because of one fight scene!<br />I actually popped over here to tell you that I tagged you for a writerly quiz. No worries if it's not your thing. http://breathenbreatheout.blogspot.com/2012/04/just-for-fun.htmlEvangeline Denmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751937297015889994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998863657658685998.post-2869549970300491432012-04-12T09:47:07.558-06:002012-04-12T09:47:07.558-06:00Beth, it's to remind me to try it someday!

Is it because I'm a conflict avoider?<br /><br />@Sonia: With all your activities, I'd probably pick your brain if I were ever brave enough to include fight scenes in my novels!<br /><br />@Leah: It's a great idea to force yourself to do the scenes you might otherwise avoid!

When I find some time I'm going to write a fight scene and a steamy sex scene (one must find balance) as I have never written one of the either;) Great information once again!Leah Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424758000036417506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998863657658685998.post-10111019562965330632012-04-11T13:51:39.228-06:002012-04-11T13:51:39.228-06:00Being an action and fantasy movie and book buff, I...Being an action and fantasy movie and book buff, I've watched and read a tonne of fight scenes - which has helped me ever so much in my writing.<br /><br />I pull my fight scenes out of thin air (read here: a subconscious conglomeration of all the fight scenes I've seen and read... and there are a lot) when I write.<br /><br />It helps that I take equestrian martial arts, as well as Chinese martial arts, and I own a number of swords both Asian and European that I regularly play around with...<br /><br />That said, my action sequences could always use work!<br /><br />Great resources, as always, Debbie. Thanks ever so much for this!S.M.
