[…] a pleasure to be here. And if you didn’t catch me the last time around, last month I got to do TWO exclusive interviews with NYT best sellers Lisa Unger and Sophie Jordan. I cracked into their brains on how they write fight scenes and emotion. I dissect a couple of […]

Hi Tiffany!
First things first: I read the prologue excerpt from 'Darkness, My Old Friend' and dashed off to Amazon. That was Intense!
The interviews -- Peachy! Much respect to the experts.
"Swallowing my wince, I look up." Wow!!!
This was an incredibly illumining blog. I was interested to read this because I have had to incorporate fight scenes into my WIP and well... merely NOT writing them isn't an option. I realize now that I tend to get overly specific with the technical details and end up with too little on the emotional and visceral reactions of the characters. I'll have to re-read the scenes now and interrogate them. Thanks for all your suggestions. You rock!

This is great stuff, Tiffany! Love how you dissect the scenes to demonstrate why they work. I have bookmarked this entire series for future reference. And a special thanks for including the Lisa Unger interview.
Continue to enthrall and enlighten us. 🙂

Fabulous post, Tiffany! Bookmarking it right now!!!
I have several fight scenes in my current WIP. Who would've thought they were so hard to write! So you can guess what a lifebelt this whole Crossing Physical Barriers thing has been. Loved the interviews. I so enjoy reading about other (read: far more successful) authors' approaches. Loved the breakdown. Looking forward to your next post.
