Fight Scene!

I've been trying to learn how to write out fight scenes better. I don't write them very often, so with all the ones in this book I'm writing now, I'm going to need to get a lot more practice. It's just hard to picture the scenes sometimes. And I've re-read some of my older fight scenes and not understood what was going on. I wrote it and I didn't understand!!! That's bad, I know. Practice makes perfect. Or nearly perfect. I'll take either. The most important thing I've learned is to keep the reader in the action. Set a pace. But you have to keep your style. And create interesting sentences. Also, don't get bogged down in details unless they're important. The character going through the battle may be more important than the actual battle. Battles can be broken down into basics. Action and reaction. It's basically one and then the other, just like science, I guess.
