Prosecraft notes
From thriller writer James Scott Bell, some comments on writing action scenes. An excerpt:
Fiction is the stylized rendition of reality for an emotional effect.
Reality is boring. Reality is not drama. Reality is to be avoided at all costs ("We must stay drunk on writing," Ray Bradbury once said, "so reality does not destroy us.")
