I think my time is universaly off. This would've been my guidebook to writing my last couple fics. Because there are some really good tips to take from this. The language thing, I think most of all. Each word you pick when you're trying to write an action scene has to be weighed against the flow of the writing.

I approach writing action as if you're trying to get from start to end in the shortest route. The language you pick has to fit in to keep the focus of the work. (discounting the plot, becuase action of goes through twists and turns, but the words themselves should be streamlined)

But that stuff about the setting and detail, that's stuff i'm going to have to keep in mind.
