Description

No matter the genre, no matter the plot, characters move, talk, and occasionally resort to fisticuffs when words don't work, or the writer gets bored.

How do you incorporate action into your scenes? What about reader fatigue? How do you break up those action sequences to keep the reader from becoming numb? And how do you know when you've gone too far?
