trixation: Do you have any advice on writing an action sequence, like a chase scene or hand-to-hand combat? I keep getting caught up between wanting to write really descriptively so the reader can visualize it, but wanting to keep everything concise since it's supposed to be fast-paced.
We have a whole tag for this! Check out action scene, specifically these posts:
You might also check out our show don’t tell tag and our pacing tag, especially these posts:
- Musings on Exposition and Detail
- Filler Scenes, Subplots, Fluff Scenes, and Tension (Read the tension part.)
- “Show, Don’t Tell!”
Thank you for your question, and I hope this helps!
