So I did this one yesterday, but I fell asleep while I was writing.
This assignment was about how to approach action scenes. You want the reader to be sucked in and forget they are sitting on the edge of their couch but instead dragging a man out of a car crash. The trick is to keep it short (detail wise), use descriptive or colorful words (explain exactly what you mean in as few words as possible), keep things moving (if your character is too focused on the crows or broken glass on the ground you may lose an important element), make sure you aren't leaving anything important out.
An action scene needs to leave the reader wanting resolve (calmness or peace) it's up to you whether they get it or not.
Day 49 completed (but blogged a bit late) ;)
