What Medieval Fencing Teaches Me About Writing Fight Scenes

There is a correlation between sword and pen… flow state for one. This mindset of being outside of your conscious mind and trusting your subconscious is truly a powerful state of mind and I’m happy to say that I get to experience flow both with story and with a sword in my hands.

Why? Because I write and because I practice medieval style fencing. My favorite weapon form is rapier and d Read more of this blog post »

There were times this story had me on the edge of my seat and uncomfortably anxious for the characters. Excellent interiority. Nice twists. Good story!

Quotes by TF Burke  (?)

“Mathias shivered. The forest had pulled so close when they drew near to this hostel, branches twitching. And he couldn’t tell if the feel of branches against his legs had been coincidental or if a tree had reached out to brush against him, taking his measure. At least no one had been yanked from their saddle. But no one looked comfortable. Except Aunia. She merely raised her face to the canopy, eyes wide as if a chorus of faeries danced for only her.”
TF Burke, Faeries Don't Hide

“Later,” Mathias said. His boots left the stone ledge for one breathless moment as Taf swept by. His fingers grasped for the saddle lip. Sliding on oiled leather. He clamped two firm handholds. Swung his leg up and over. Landed lightly in the saddle.

Aunia, Mathias sent. We bank and you jump to me.

She took a step back from the arch’s ledge, her face white.
