One impales the driver, and the car veers off the road into a nearby antique shop, more glass spraying the sidewalk. The other shot flies by the ear of the gunman who immediately returns fire, even though his door is stuck in the wall of the antique shop and he can't escape. Panic drives the gunman. Adrenaline fuels his veins. He kicks out the windshield and runs through the shop, scaring the clueless customers, still shocked from the car that ran through the wall. He escapes out the back.
Two gunshots sound off in the still night, the dreadful sound of broken glass shards not far behind. Panic and confusion fill the air, as pedestrians scream, hunching their backs to avoid the fire. Smith stays low, risking a peek around the corner: two men, gunman and driver. He draws his pistol from the loop on his belt, says a prayer, and fires two rounds.
In your blog you say action is the least rewarding for a writer. Personally, I love writing action, probably because I am such a visual person. It's dialogue that I tend to find grueling to work with (and of course, story structure). I'm also kind of weird in that I enjoy the revision process more than banging out a first draft. The first draft is always the most difficult for me, while subsequent revisions are smooth sailin'.
@Superboysable12 OH wait never mind. This is screen casting, not writing. Sorry 'bout that. :P
