No, really. I'm not kidding.
1,058 words tonight! Is writing quicker worth becoming an alcoholic? ... I suppose not. Admittedly, the fight scenes tend to write quicker anyway because they're nearly all description (versus dialogue, which is more fun but much slower from a word count perspective).
I learned something new tonight about guns. Apparently, semi-automatic handguns (like Glocks, which my character carries) do not actually make a clicking noise when they're empty. In fact, they don't make any noise at all, since you can't even pull the trigger when the slide locks open. Damn you, Hollywood! *shakes fist* Luckily, I was trying to be all poetic and wanted to talk about the actual gun parts that make the clicking noise so I did a bit of research. Jeesh.
I also ran into a problem I've not encountered before: I kept losing track of my opponents! This particular scene involves a gang of badass vampires pouncing on our poor, unsuspecting main characters. I was losing track of how many vampires I'd already--ahem, I mean *Lucia* had already--taken out. I ended up having to number them to make sure I followed each one through to a successful ass-whooping. Or not. You won't know until I'm published! Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
