Ok, but even as someone who almost never needs to write a fight scene, this advice and walk-through is SO HELPFUL!!

Thanks so much for answering my question! The layering technique I think will be really helpful; on reading that post I think this is something I do intuitively in more dialogue-heavy scenes, but that intuition doesn't translate to action scenes. I think that's really helpful, though, because I know I *can* do it, even if it doesn't happen the same way, and the way you've broken it down here is really useful.

And I'm off to re-read that Bloodwitch scene now!
