This episode is part of a series of book discussions on the art and craft of storytelling called “Between the Lines.”
Show Notes:
Special Guest:
Christine Haggerty, author and black belt, loves to create and share stories of strength and survival. Visit her author page on Amazon, and follow her on Twitter and Facebook. From the back cover of the book, "Christine Haggerty has a B.S. in Secondary Education and over fourteen years experience teaching both language arts and traditional karate. She is an expert in both writing and fighting and combines her expertise in these fields to bring you an effective guide on action scenes. She is also an award-winning author of dystopian and dark fantasy fiction and loves to spin fire on the weekends."
Key points from her book and our discussion:
Assess your audience
If you are including a fight/action scene, you are writing genre fiction, NOT literary fiction
Prewrite, this should probably also involve pictures and toys and maybe some movies or video games
Consider the amount of training and experience your character has, what is their relationship with violence?
"The point of the set-up is to create context for the fight so that the actual fight can be written as nothing but a nitty gritty sequence of action measure in heartbeats."
Emotional fallout is the point of a fight scene in a story. How does this situation affect your characters?

Between the Lines "Bounce" with Krista Davies
In the Telling
06/18/19 • 66 min
This episode is part of a series of book discussions on the art and craft of storytelling called "Between the Lines."
Show Notes: contains affiliate linksSpecial Guest: Krista Davies is a Producer at Centerpoint Legacy Theatre and the General Manager at The MT Pit, The World's premiere Broadway backing track library.
The basic premise of “Bounce” is summed up by this quote from psychologist and researcher Anders Ericsson, “We deny that differences [in talent] are immutable; that is, due to innate talent. Instead we argue that the differences between expert performers and normal adults reflect a life-long persistence of deliberate effort to improve performance.”
Episode Chapters:
7:47 Subjective Art
12:21 Purposeful Practice
"Expert practice is different. It entails considerable, specific, and sustained efforts to do something you can't do well--or even at all. Research across domains shows that it is only by working at what you can't do that you turn into the expert you want to become." Anders Ericsson
17:59 Feedback
"We need to know where we are going wrong if we are going to improve." Matthew Syed
27:52 Iceberg Illusion
"When we witness extraordinary feats...we are witnessing the end product of a process measured in years...we are laboring under the illusion that expertise is reserved for special people with special talents, inaccessible to the rest of us." Matthew Syed
34:54 The Gap
"World-class performance comes by striving for a target just out of reach, but with a vivid awareness of how the gap might be breached." Matthew Syed
48:11 Deep Domain Knowledge
"The most important ingredient in any expert system is knowledge. Programs that are rich in general inference methods...but poor in domain-specific knowledge can behave expertly on almost no tasks." Bruce Buchanan, Randall, Davis, Edward Feigenbaum
54:24 Zero-Sum Games and Economics
57:54 Defining Moments
