Huh, look at that. First time I think I’ve beaten 1k dur­ing May.

I pretty much started into a con­fronta­tion (aka, arse-kicking scene) and as every­one knows, when it’s on a rick­ity space­ship, it’s going to be in an enclosed, pos­si­bly badly lit space. This one was and wasn’t, as it was in what could be clas­si­fied as a giant freezer that cools a giant reac­tor — fun times.

Any­way, it was enjoy­able and I think I have a cer­tain style to my action scenes. I like to keep them flow­ing — obvi­ously — and usu­ally strike a nice bal­ance between detail and pace. I don’t want the reader to be lost, but then I don’t want every name and action writ­ten out until the whole thing becomes a self defense text book.

Hope­fully tomor­row, I will come to a suit­able con­clu­sion and it won’t all be for a lame ending ;)

    Sounds like a great scene :)

    Grats on the WC too. You’ll be able to fine-tune the bal­ance in the revi­sion. Right now, the more detail, the better.
