Thanks for dropping by. Most of Joanna's fans are way more interested in writing than they are in swords, so I've put together a list of the writers' resources I have here. Perhaps the most obvious and important is my latest book:
Swordfighting for Writers, Game Designers, and Martial Artists includes all sorts of things you might find useful, including how to overcome fear, as well as specific tips about writing swordfighting scenes in your novel.
It is available from Amazon and Kobo, or you can get it directly from me:
And iOS fans can get it from the Apple store:
I have also written a few blogposts about writing and publishing, such as:
Dealing with fear:
Managing Fear, a case study with verse!
Crowdfunding (which I know a lot of writers think about as a way to raise fund for self-publishing):
I hope this is useful to you, and best of luck in your writing career! I hope you'll keep in touch; you can contact me, and join my mailing list (full of lots of cool sword stuff) here.
