From the author of the Writer's Digest book Fight Write: How to Write Believable Fight Scenes comes Fight Write, Round Two: Crafting Chaos, Combat and Crime.

From a medieval siege to a modern murder scene, Fight Write, Round Two has got you covered. Divided into three sections, trained fighter and writer Carla Hoch guides you through the many factors you will need to consider when writing your scenes of chaos, combat or crime.

Section one, Crafting Chaos, coaches you through various stages of writing a fight scene including what to consider before you start, which fight moves to block, how to pace the scene, if dialogue is a realistic component and how to kick your reader right in the neurons. Throughout the chapters you'll watch a fight scene take shape. Beware the Muchahuahua!

Section two, Combat, hits hard from the medieval battle field to the MMA cage. Learn how to storm a castle, the basics of swordplay, how to best a magical foe and fight alongside an animal companion. Is your character jumping into combat sports? Find out how to write a scene with sparring, how flowing blood impacts combat and how any character might fight if they don't know the first thing about fighting.

Section three, Crime, considers what your criminal and crime fighting characters might encounter from the scene of the crime to the crime scene clean-up. You'll learn to write deception, compelling evidence, problematic personalities and get the inside scoop on autopsy. You'll also learn what Bigfoot has in common with psychopaths and sociopaths and how CSI shows have changed juries and readers.

Get ready, writer! With Fight Write, Round Two in hand the pages of your manuscript are sure to get feisty.
