  • I am using, for action scenes, this three act format which allows me to control pacing and create order in hectic environment:
  • * Action - analysis - reaction
  • Johann _fired_ (action) his pistol and missed, he had _no time for reload_ (Analysis) and Frederick made quick decision _to draw steel_(reaction). <p>
  • He _lunged_ (action) with his rapier, aiming straight on the throat. Johann barely parried the strike, _leaving himself open_ ,(analysis) to _final jab_(reaction). <p>
  • How do I squeeze into this technique inner dialogue to create depth into analysis or show emotions. I did several experiments and it is just feel like disruption on destroying the pacing. For example saying: _he put sword en garde, watching his steel trembling in his nervous hands._ It feels just like i am interrupting action

Johann _fired_ (action) his pistol and missed, he had _no time for reload_ (Analysis) and Frederick made quick decision _to draw steel_(reaction). <p>
He _lunged_ (action) with his rapier, aiming straight on his throat. Johann barely parried the strike _leaving himself open_ (analysis) to _final jab_(reaction). <p>

How do I squeeze into this technique inner dialogue to create depth into analysis. I did several experiments and it is just feel like disruption on destroying the pacing
