With any sort of action, including fights, I try to concentrate on the rhythm and pacing of my words. I write it almost like poetry. I have no idea if this works for the reader but as the writer it gives me something to concentrate on!
Otherwise it's just like writing a sex scene - concentrate on what you are trying to say via the scene, not on the nuts and bolts of insert tab A into slot B. Let any emotion or excitement turn up by itself.
So for me the toughest bits are any sort of introspection or interior exposition - I worry that they give away too much, get too schmaltzy and are just downright boring. Any suggestions would be welcome.
