FightWrite answers a question from writer Jenna Terese: How do female fighters fight?

To help folks weather the COVID-19 outbreak, FightWrite has story time. We read Chapter 8, Killing Isn't Easy, of Fight Write: How to Write Believable Fight Scenes. This chapter discusses the psychological ramifications of killing.

Can your character carry a sword on his back like The Witcher, Michonne, Legolas and infinite video game characters? Sure, they can. The real question is, should they? That's what edged weapons expert Kirk McCune and I dig into. MasterKirk.com

I finish Tony Torzillo's question on the emotions that go through a fighter's head as they fight and let me go ahead and warn you, I was super sick when I recorded this and basically nuts. BUT, the info is solid. Meandering and steam of consciousness but solid. 

Listener Tony Torzillo asks about what thoughts and feelings go through a fighter's brain as they fight. We discuss that and I tell about a time I was almost topless at a jiu-jitsu tournament!

We continue our conversation with David Morales from BioTechs Crime and Trauma Cleaning services and answer some writer questions. We talk about how he stays sane, black dots on walls and jugs and jugs of urine! 

In this episode of the FightWrite podcast, we talk to David Morales at Biotech Crime & Trauma Scene Cleaning. David tells about his job, protocol at a scene, what happens when he finds evidence and if putting Vick's Vapo-Rub under the nose really helps less the smell of death. 

On this episode we go over the stages of decomposition by time. We also talk about how unsanitary dead bodies are and how a zombie might still kill you without ever putting a scratch on ya!

We look at stages of death and the difference in clinical and biological death. We also discuss what CPR does and doesn't do. What AEDs are for and use lots of other letters in cool ways!

In this episode we answer a question from writer Jebraun Clifford about fighting in Zero-G!
