Can we get to some serious fighting already?

Seriously, I mean it.  I love battle, I love war and death and all things in between.  In my writing that is.  So I am at a part  (In book two mind you) where I have overcome the hump of the little romance I have brewing on the side, as torturous as that is for me, I see the future ahead of me, I know the words that will come out of my mouth, but am I crazy for just wanting to get to the fighting?  Yeah yeah, there are accomplishments along the way,which are very fun might I add.  A lot of ill intentions and revelations along with more torture and things of the like.  

I just see it, clear as day.  I have seen it for years actually, and I am getting so close I’m salivating.  I’m so close I can smell the blood, taste the sweat, and feel the pain of it all.  I’m sure it’s such a simple answer “Well write it silly” and that I will.  I just don’t feel like I’m ready for it yet.  I need the other accomplishments to finish their paths so it all meets up to this one huge blowout of a bloodbath with a detrimental change to most characters involved.  Once I have done that, don’t you think it would be hard to go back and write the lead-up once again?  Maybe its my carrot on the stick, maybe its just my path to follow, or maybe its just that I’m a stubborn old coot who wants things in their place and when they take place for I know that once this battle is done it is only the beginning of a much bigger war that will make me salivate even harder; with that I will need to get to book three.

So as much as I want fighting and war and that pinnacle moment with a ton of spoilers, and probably a few people who are wondering why I would do such a think to one of their favorite characters, I will wait my turn.  It won’t be long, it just will have to come when it does.

Don’t mind me, I’m going to go pout for a moment to let it all sink in.

    You know… you don’t have to actually write in order… if you want to write the cool stuff, go ahead! 🙂

      Oh I hardly ever write in order and am still deciding on whether to section it out to the climax or have it in timeline order. Its just I would feel less….eager maybe?
      Possibly need to earn my reward. lol

        As are the ways of the world so it seems, right?
        Unless I get super peeved and feel the need to create a character just to kill them off, then we might be all good.

    I dream about my fight scenes at times, so I try to fake myself into thinking that I’m fine-tuning them until I can actually write them. Then they never go as planned.

      or is it they don’t live up to your expectations?

      I find it interesting the final course of the fight in my brain is like slow motion 2 key groups of people do the slow walk with their pride up, hair blowing, and some cool music in the background. Yeah, thats never going to happen. lol

        They typically do, but I always manage to include a series of moves that forces the battle to take an odd turn. Usually, a strike that would end the fight is blocked and then I have my hero on the ropes. My 5th book is filled with wild battles and crazy final blows.

    The Death of a Character: To Mourn or Not to Mourn

    I was asked a question earlier by someone I find both wise, endearing, and completely talented in all that she does.  Her question has been bouncing around in my mind and I realize that my answer to her was very swift and two dimensional so maybe I should expand a little on the subject.  The […]
