Honestly, with an ask that general, the most excellent @howtofightwrite blog is what you’re looking for! Or maybe something on this post here.Â
Hint: It’s not easy. Plan to rewrite. Learn how to block your scene (as in the theater/film term). Make sure the scene works as a scene: It advances the plot or characterization and has a beginning, middle and end.Â
Spend time learning about the fighting style, weapons (if there are any), potential wounds that can be inflicted, etc… I also suggest the voluminous @scriptmedic blog for understanding wounds and injuries. (The blog is being discontinued, but the many, many posts will be kept as a resource and the blogmom has written several useful books for writers needing medical information specifically for writers.)
I will also pass along one tip our own Graphei gave me that came in hella handy (even though my two fighters were Force users because I’m SW trash through and through): When two characters are fighting, they aren’t going to be physically able to hold full conversations. If you need to have things said, there will need to be breaks in the action, or you’ll have to move to internal monologue or have your omniscient narrator say the things. Your participants will be too busy getting winded.Â
Reblogging for my followers who might have trouble remembering whether or not they’ve taken their medicine!
OH MY GOD, THIS WILL HELP ME SO MUCH. I GET SO SCARED WHEN I DON’T KNOW IF I JUST TOOK MY MEDS TWICE.
THANK YOU, I’M ABOUT TO CRY.
Let me share with you guys a product that super helps me remember if I took my meds or not (because while the above is great, I still would manage to confuse myself):
They count as soon as you put the top back on. So if I don’t know if I’ve taken my medication for the day, I can check the cap to see how long ago I opened the container! It’s brilliant!Â
JFC THIS IS A GAME CHANGER.
I KNOW THIS IS MY ART BLOG BUT EVERYONE WHO TAKES MEDS SHOULD SEE THIS.
Don’t forget! ♥️
You can also use an app like Mango Health if that’s more your style! I like it cause you can set alarms and when they go off, you have the choice of taking it, snoozing it, or skipping the dose, and if you don’t choose one of those it will automatically snooze and keep reminding you until you take it or skip it! It also shows a log of when you took what meds each day, and lists information about your logged meds (including OTC stuff and vitamins) as well as interactions.
This is an amazing resource for anyone currently studying these courses, studying these courses in the future, or anyone interested in the subject. Enjoy and please reblog so more people are aware!
