Yeah I always dread writing fight scenes, though they often turn out better than I think they will. Does it help to have a lot of vocabulary though, or is describing in simple language just as effective? I think pov fight scenes are hard because all the need to describe feelings, reactions etc crop up again but that maybe comes down agiain to being in characters' heads.
There are a lot of descriptions in LOTR. LOL and I love those books - maybe that's why I always think it would be good to inject the odd amazing description here and there without overdoing it!
Does that mean English is not your first language? Wow - I'm always awestruck by that, especially when I never would have known :DD
