Story advent!
Dec. 3rd, 2009 11:03 pm...continues apace. I wrote yesterday, but not very much, and I was almost falling asleep at the keyboard so I gave the blog update a miss.
Tonight, I'm researching knife fights for the big climactic scene that I'm in the middle of writing. The closest I've been to a knife fight is acting out the choreography of the big fight of West Side Story backstage with a friend while we waited for our cue to go on.
I love this bit, it made me laugh (and I think I'll steal this move for my Hero):

Now for the big secret in knife fights:
DO NOT USE YOUR KNIFE.
Yes, you heard me. Do not use it. Your opponent will be so fixed on your knife, that you will easily be able to beat him up with the other hand. Therefore, if you are right handed, hold your knife in your left hand, or vice versa. Then, move your knife away from your body, and watch your opponent follow its tip with his eyes. Now hit him hard in the face with your free hand.
