Tara is going to post my guest blog so...Hi Donna, <br /><br />Tara is going to post my guest blog soon. It's about how to write realistic fight scenes, and intended as a taster of my workshop. You could check it out to see if you like my approach before you invest money in the actual class. <br /><br />Most of my students are like you: writers who face the challenge of creating exciting fight scenes, who've never epxerienced a fight and have no wish to.<br /><br />Writing a fight scene requires different skills from fighting one. <br /><br />A skilled martial artist could beat the out of me. I could write a good scene about it afterwards. ;-)<br /><br />Maybe I'll see you here tomorrow: if you like, we can discuss ideas for fight scenes in your WiPs.<br /><br />RayneRayne Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13992900621890391763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37083420.post-37795576004277544742011-05-09T21:21:28.426-07:002011-05-09T21:21:28.426-07:00yeah, I read enough books and writing blogs to mak...yeah, I read enough books and writing blogs to make me afraid of breaking a writing rule. Stymies the writing, if you're not careful. <br /><br />I've been around long enough though, to know that what you can absorb comes in phases. Like anything, moderation helps. I don't think I'd be as skilled a writer today if I hadn't soaked up every resource - and then took a step back to determine what works best for me in my writing style.<br /><br />I still enjoy the learning process though, so I'll probably check out Rayne's workshop and see if its in the budget. I'm writing fantasy, and some women's fiction, that uses some combative scenes. I'm not a person that would ever experience this in my personal life . .<br /><br />Thanks for the info Tara. I've been reading through some of your prior posts and find your blog quite interesting.<br /><br />..........dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37083420.post-84789147345358704142011-05-09T14:06:26.409-07:002011-05-09T14:06:26.409-07:00Hi.

These workshops are run in the format of a Yahoo Group - are you familiar with those?<br />You get the lessons and assignments delivered to your inbox, and can participate via e-mail. If you prefer, you can participate via the group's website. <br />You'll also interact with the other students in the class, helping one another, and you can ask the instructor questions. There won't be any off-topic chitchat. <br />Does this answer your question? If not, please ask again.<br />RayneRayne Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13992900621890391763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37083420.post-8682933010398694242011-05-09T13:54:10.160-07:002011-05-09T13:54:10.160-07:00How do these online workshops work?
