Writing Combat: The Basics

from The Fiction Lab Podcast Hosted by Katrina Schroeder

Author and veteran G.C. Byrne joins us in the Lab to talk about the often-overlooked parts of writing combat in fiction: preparation, decision-making, and aftermath. We dig into what should realistically happen before a fight breaks out and what absolutely can’t be ignored once the adrenaline wears off. Learn the story elements with The Fiction Lab.
