Writers Chat, hosted by Johnnie Alexander, Brandy Brow, and Melissa Stroh is the show where we talk about all things writing, by writers and for writers!
“Because talking about writing is more fun than actually doing it.”
Come Write with Us: Writing Fight Scenes with Crystal Caudill
Award-winning author Crystal Caudill joins us again so we can practice what we learned in her previous episode about writing both physical and verbal fight scenes (Picking the Write Fight; 1/16/24). After a brief recap of the earlier episode that focused on the purpose of a fight scene, Crystal led a brief brainstorming session. Then she asked specific questions that guided us in writing our own fight scenes. Every story needs tension to engage readers. Watch the replay to learn more from this week’s episode.

Some of her novels have been finalists in the Carol Awards; the Faith, Hope, and Love Readers’ Choice Awards; the Selah Awards; and have been twice nominated for Book of the Year.
