I'll show you how to kick your reader not just in the ass, but in the brain and heart as well.
Action scenes are crucial whether you're writing a romance, a comedy or sonnet. But it's hard for writers to envision action scenes because most of us are obese, cowardly and riddled with diabetes and therefore have never action been engaged in a physical altercation. But whether you're writing a novel or a screenplay, there are some ways to make those action scenes thrill your reader without risking jail time, personal injury or indictment for hate crimes.

If there's one thing I've learned from KZfaq, it's that the comment section is always positive, insightful and never full of bigotry and childish name-calling. Thank you for subscribing, @frankhernandez1995.

I quit after the first few remarks of the video. I've been in plenty of fist-fights, thanks, and don't need some presumptive stranger insulting the audience while pretending to give advice.

I think the CTE from all those fist fights has ruined your ability to read the video description or the tags or have basic media literacy. And if the video or this comment really makes you mad, maybe you should try punching your screen to teach me a lesson.
