Hi all!

I'm teaching another class with Cat Rambo's Academy for Wayward Writers, this time on action scenes - specifically, how to write action scenes with emotional punch from characterization to establishing dramatic stakes.

The class will be 4pm Eastern (1pm Pacific) on April 18th.

As my Patrons, you can get $20 off of the cost (normally $99, for you it's $79). Just let Cat know that you're a subscriber to my Patreon when you register.

Here's the class description:

Characterization and the emotional arc of a novel don't step aside when the blasters start firing or people start throwing punches. The best action storytelling uses chases, misadventure, and fight scenes to foreground emotion, to show characters making big choices based on their feelings. Instead, the best action stories include the audience in the emotional rollercoaster of the characters. This class will talk through techniques for using action scenes to advance the plot and the emotional journey of your characters and how to make sure that the scenes are far more than choreography and flashy explosions.
