I officially ran out of fighting ideas tonight, so I brought in the big gun: my husband, black belt extraordinaire and my official fight scene choreographer. We spent a long time talking through the scene, the characters' motivations and abilities and then ran through a long list of possibilities for the fight.
To make a long story short, I had to rewrite the scene to make it work in a realistic way, which meant cutting 1100 words, of which I only recreated 442. *sigh*
But at least I know I'm on the right track now. Tomorrow I've vowed to write on the bus to and from work as well as on my lunch. I'm ready to move past this fight!!
8553 / 60000 words. 14% done!
