What have I been doing today?
Well, writing The Barren Prison, book 2 in The Runners of Abra series. It’s been a while since I’ve had time to write, but today was one of those days when I finally sat in the chair and wrote words.
One of my favorite things about writing this series in particular is the wide variety of fighting styles and action set pieces I’m able to play with. As I was working on an action scene, I realized that a fight with Escrima Sticks fit the moment perfectly. And for research, I went down the rabbit hole of YouTube to find videos of double stick fighting as it’s also called. Escrima Sticks are a fast moving style that has been used in the Filipino martial arts called Arnis Eskrima.
The Barren Prison has been a challenging story to tell, but I’m so excited about where the story is heading and how it’s all turning out! Hopefully you’ll be able to read it sooner rather than later!
