Violence in Fiction

I wrote a particularly brutal scene this evening. I've cranked out some violent stuff in this manuscript, and a lot of the earlier scenes are gorier than this one.

This one was... well choreographed.

To make the passage believable, I had to map it in my head. Which meant I needed to rehearse it a little. I think it worked.

My goal for today's session was a thousand words. I wrote 2,000.

I'm still behind schedule, but I made up a chunk of time with that. Maybe I'll move it along with another violent scene.

I hope your writing is moving along, too.
