I'll start from the end - I've just reached page 80 of my script's second draft and I'm already fearing I will pass my 120 pages limit by a lot. I'm thinking possibly 130-140. I have too much story left.
I realized I've been quite descriptive in action scenes. Well, I wrote down every action as I saw it, as usual. And when a lot of things happen at once - it can be 5-10 pages of nonstop action. It's fun to read (according to my readers) and flows well, but I've heard before that you should only write the most important stuff (ie who got injured/died etc) and leave it for the choreographers.
I was hoping I could cut some corners by cutting a bit of my actions scenes, the question is then - how descriptive are your action scenes?
