Boss Battle Jibberish

 I always call the moments in my stories when my characters are faced to fight a big enemy Boss Battles, because of they remind me of video games. I always somehow imagine it that way. A big "The Legend Of Dragoon" style battle.
 Anyways, I have hit my second Boss Battle, which is in the seventeenth chapter (the first one is in the eleventh) and it's pretty exciting. I have some Legend of Dragoon battle music in my ears, Extended Boss Battle Theme 2 to be exact, and I'm just describing what I see.
 I must say, I'm actually pretty terrible with fight scenes, the more I think about it. I have to be in the mood to write if I want to write a good fight scene. Unfortunately, I have never really read a book that described fight scenes that are as long as mine.
 I treat my mine like video games.
 "Dallas aimed his arrow and fired. Molly blocked the arrow with a swift cut of her Hunting Knife." You know. Actually, that's more like an announcer, but whatever, and Dallas and Molly are super out-of-character with that one line. No joke.

 Anyways, it's my second fight scene. I'll probably do a lot of editing with my Boss Battles. It's funny though; the only battles in my book are Boss Battles, except that one time I had the trio vs the Knights. That wasn't a Boss Battle, but still a battle.
 I need more battles in this book. I know it's weird, writing fight scenes in books, but it's kind of fun. I mean, what if it gets made into a movie? Then it's an Action-Fantasy-Adventure movie! Wouldn't that be super awesome!?
 Yeah, if and when I publish this book, I can't wait for it to be a movie. That would be super awesome. I could go up to my new friend and say, "You know that movie, 'The Secret Of The Hunters'? Yeah, I helped write that."
 And they would be all like, "Yeah, right!"
 And I would be all like, "Yeah, right! So true! Here's the proof!" and show them my email-to-myself thing. Yeah, I am all set for copyright issues, if there need be. But I don't post too many chapters cause I don't want people reading it on deviantART for free and I'm all like, "No! I make no moneys!" Moneys is actually a word.
 I didn't know that.
 I think Monies is a word, too.
 Weird.

 And you know what's about as much fun with making worlds is making currencies. No joke. I love it when you can make up currencies, cause they don't even have to make sense. "Sixty-five shuffles please". Or, or, could you imagine if their currencies were push-ups!?
"Sixty-five push-ups, please."
"Oh, okay! Just let me get my push purse."
 Like, seriously. That's pretty awesome.
 And then there is what you can have in that world. Like, in the world of "The Secret Of The Hunters", they have crossbows and super computers and hover cars and Mac and Cheese, but they don't have guns. Like, seriously. That's pretty awesome crap right there.

 And then comes the names. I love coming up with names, especially last names, cause they don't have to make sense either. It could honestly be anything. Like, Kemp. You could name a guy Kemp, some chick Surrie, a dog named Yack, and some old dude called Ghakstualis.
 When it comes to names and currencies and worlds, nothing has to make sense. You can just make it a bunch of jibberish. Jibberish names always sound cool, especially if you use the right syllables for the right letters.
 Okay, apparently, Jibberish isn't a word, according to my spell checker. Just thought I'd point that out.
