Not all places gush bright red blood, people! 3. The blood from arteries will be a brighter red, like vermilion, than the blood from veins, which is the dark crimson everyone likes to talk about. There’s also the fact that you have to take into account where the blood is coming from. when they’re describing blood flow from a certain place. ![]() Obviously, a cut on your cheek will have less of a blood flow than a cut on your wrist, depending on what the blade hits, and I hope that everyone consults a diagram of veins, capillaries, arteries, etc. There’s also the fact that when some authors described wounds caused by blades such as knives, daggers, and swords, they never take into account the anatomy of a person and which places cause the most blood flow. Whether or not the wound triggers other things (Ex: Concussion, vomiting, dizziness, infection, internal/external bleeding). (For blunt force trauma) How hard the hit was How long the character has had the injury What object was used to harm the character When describing the pain of an injury or the injury itself, you have to take into account: It was very clear that this author had never been punched before. It was to the point where I was like Did the bully have brass knuckles or something? ![]() I’m reading a high school AU where a character gets punched by a bully (Idk where they got punched it wasn’t stated) and the author is describing it like they’d been shot. (However, it does depend on the area, as well as how hard the punch is, on top of the fact that you have to take into account whether or not the punch broke bones) This partially has to do with the fact that they’ve never experienced that injury before and are just thinking about what it might feel like.Īs a girl with two brothers and who often participated in rough play-fights, I can assure you that getting punched is not as painful as you think it is. Many times, usually in fanfiction, writers over-exaggerate certain injuries. This gives it a faster pace and sort of parallels with the scattered, spread out thoughts of the character as they suffer. In my own writing, I stick to short, quick paragraphs, some of them which are barely a line long. When it comes to writing about pain, it really is about quality and not quantity. It’s boring and, quite frankly, unnecessary, especially during a fight or huge battle, which are supposed to be fast-paced. You want to convey to the reader just how much pain the character is in, and you think that the pain will be emphasized the more you write about it.Īs a reader, when I’m reading a book or fanfiction where, whenever the writer uses agonizingly long paragraphs to describe when a character is hurt, I skip it. However, with time, I managed to gather up a few strategies on how to write pain. The characters in my book suffer through all sorts of terrible shit, and in no way am I writing from experience, which is marginally easier to do than write about something that has never happened to you. When I first started writing, about eight years ago, I had the same issue as are you supposed to write about pain you’ve never experienced before? TIPS ON HOW TO WRITE PAIN (FOR BOTH ORIGINAL CONTENT WRITERS AND FANFICTION WRITERS) To make it up to you, I’ve made one of my trademark Long Posts about it. No problem!
