Thursday Scores: It's Our Fight!

Every now and then, I need some action! That could be taken several different ways ... but what I'm talking about here is a good scene in a story that gets my adrenaline going! ... That could be taken several different ways too, but it's not what you think! I'm talking about car chases, aerial dogfights, gunfights, martial arts, and superpower- laced awesomeness. I don't always write action scenes, but when I do, finding the right score helps me set the mood. I had a hard time finding one to help inspire the big battle scene in Woven, before and during edits. That is, until I came across this rip-roaring track!

It's Our Fight: by Steve Jablonsky
From the film: Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Of course, the score would be a little less mechanical if the scene were adapted to film, but I can dream, right? For this track, I'd like to tag one of my favorite authors, Larry Correia, who writes the best action books that I've read lately. The M.H.I Team could take on giant robots any day of the week. Seriously, Monster Hunter needs to be a movie!

And because Amazon has this habit of sending me more than one book sometimes, I have an extra hardback copy that could use a home - and as a bonus, it's signed by Mr. Correia himself! If you're interested, say "WANT!" in the comments below. I'll randomly select a winner and then I'll announce the lucky reader with tomorrow's post. You will learn so much and see great examples of effective action writing, I guarantee your mind will be blown!

Sound good? Awesome! Spread the word if you'd like, because this book is going fast. Thank you for clicking by and listening to another excellent score!

Until next time, roll out!

I'm David, and it's true - I have an Optimus Prime on my desk ...
