Episode 103: How to Write Addictive, Page-Turning Action (And Keep Your Readers up Until 3 AM)

from The Kate and Abbie Show · host Kate and Abbie Emmons

Well written action can be downright addictive. Let's face it: we love watching our characters face their biggest challenges and worst fears. But what is at the CORE of a good action sequence that makes it so addictive? What keeps us watching or reading late into the night? Whether you are writing a high fantasy, a sci-fi, or a contemporary, as a writer it's important to nail this aspect of your story. In this special Story Mining episode, Abbie and I are delving into some of our favorite well written action scenes, and taking apart each component to show you how exactly each of these ingredients come together to create action scenes that are truly binge-worthy.
