You must realize 'is' has a purpose. In extremely short sentences you can use it, especially in the beginning of a story or a book. You are trying to orient the reader. Where is this place? Who are your characters? Where are we going? You will need to use is a few times in your first few paragraphs. Getting your readers oriented is more important than a silly rule.

Then the action starts taking off. You start rewriting looking for ways to replace is with motion.
