Hello, my fellow writers.
My name is Pat, and I've been writing FanFictions for around three years now. And in those years I've learned a lot and I still am.
Of course, when you're writing, you develop a style over time and change your fandom more often than your Instagram status, but you never stop learning.
The beautiful thing about writing is, that it never stops. There are no limits.
When you're painting, you will eventually run out of colors, but you'll never run out of words.
However, there are challenges. And one of those challenges is fight scenes.
I hope, that this book will be able to help you to improve your writing.
But before we jump into it, a few more things:
- This book will include short paragraphs, which are going to work as examples. They have a certain amount of violence in them, but if you have a problem with that, you probably shouldn't write fight scenes.
- I know that many readers from my Danger Force story are here. I'm sometimes going to use characters from the show as examples.
- I'm a boxer. A lot of the stuff in here is personal experience.
- I'm a science geek (especially in biology), and NOT a DOCTER! When I'm talking about injuries, do NOT TRY THIS STUFF AT HOME.
Like seriously, when your bone is sticking out of your skin, go to the hospital.
And lastly:
"It's your road and your road only. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you."
What I'm trying to say is: I can help you with fight scenes, but I'm not going to write them for you.
However, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to write a comment. I'm going to do my best to help you.
And now, please enjoy.
