Every year I consider writing a novel for NaNoWriMo. Some years I throw something together without a plan, some years I plan things out and I think only once have I ever actually *finished* a book – though a couple of years I have reached the goal. This year, I thought maybe I’d do some research before I write anything (if I write anything this year, I’m still not decided) and so I decided to check out Writing Fight Scenes – just in case.
Rayne Hall wrote this book because struggling with fight scenes – there was nothing out there to help writers. Now there is.
I like that each chapter is broken down with a different type of fight scene – for instance one for entertainment, a gritty scene or blending both. At the end of each chapter, there is a section on “blunders to avoid” which I really liked.
There are also chapters on what sorts of weapons your characters may be using in their fight scene. I’ve never realized there were so many weapons out there. Wow. Also guides on him your fighters are male, female or animal.
I think I am now thoroughly prepared to write a proper fight scene – should the opportunity arise.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
