Book writing thread

I know all all of you are avid readers and maybe some of you like to do a bit of writing.

I definitely want to write a book for the hell of it (getting published would be nice, but it's only a pipe dream)

My perfect life would be writing fiction and living off the income. But that's about as realistic as passing through a wall (which from a physics pov, is theoretically possible.. but highly unlikely)


..So, how's your writing life?

I break none of these rules, actually, and I knew not to break them because I have common sense about how a real fight works.
I'm just normally very peaceful so can't get the "I'm going to kick your ass, bitch" vibe going in the style.  That's my problem more than anything.  The "epic" fight I was writing and killed was 2v1, and the one only won because when they got a weapon in a rather creative way, one of the two opponents pussied out.

As to "I have a few of these", there is one 1v1 which is not meant to be duelly, just a quick and dirty fight (I said "duels" as code for 1v1), and one battle which is meant to be epic.  Battle mostly focuses on a two v. God knows how many which are only held off because of magic, and at the end, one of the two is dead and the other has shortcircuited his brain with magic.  I don't have a ton of stupid "I'm so awesome" duels.  You have to be really good to write even one of those right.
