HELP!
          I'm in the middle of writing a chapter that's built around a sword fight, but don't know enough to write it well.
          Any advice? Or reference to where I could learn more for this? :P

It sounds cliched, but I would say to imagine yourself in the sword fight.  What you see, what you feel, how you move, what you hear.  I would also caution starting too many sentences with "I", depending on which tense you use.  Experiment with what sounds good!  That's really the only way!

@sydneyhcs that sounds exciting! ^_^ I wrote some sword fighting scenes in Pentoria in some of the chapters so I guess you'd see that soon :P oh, and what I do is that I mostly inspire myself in some movies and anime that have sword fighting :D It's the best inspiration I could get! haha! Oh, and also of course I read some books that have fighting scenes to =) it makes me get some idea of what words and verbs people use =) hope this helps ^_^ (wow my comment seems long)
