Fight scenes and sex scenes may seem worlds apart, but both rely on the same storytelling essentials: pacing, tension, emotional stakes, and character revelation. In this lively, practical webinar, novelist Claudia H. Long will show you how to approach both kinds of scenes with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
Whether you’re writing tenderness, conflict, passion, danger, or all four at once, you’ll learn how to keep readers fully engaged while ensuring these scenes move the story forward. Claudia will explore techniques for pacing action, building anticipation, handling heat levels thoughtfully, and avoiding scenes that feel repetitive or disconnected from the larger narrative.
You’ll leave with practical tools for writing scenes that reveal character, deepen relationships, heighten tension, and keep readers turning pages.
