Of course, I’m happy I could help! And yeah, injuring characters is tough XD

@scoutfinch190

As for your first questions, that’s quite beyond me XD But I can answer the latter!

Does anyone also know if there could be a pain-killer strong enough to ease physical wounds in pill-form?

Yes! Painkillers that work on the central nervous…[Read more]

Okay I can kinda answer a few of these! I have no medical experience in this, but I do have some personal experience with both, besides some historical research for the same kinds of questions in my WIP!

So I have a character who fell maybe a couple feet of the ground and then got hit in the head by the pulley system she built and I…

You’re very welcome! While this topic is normally about technical or clinical subjects you don’t want showing up in your search history, it’s absolutely expected that queries will branch off into tangents as knowledge is shared.

In order to be a fairly quick death, you need a couple things to happen. Massive loss of blood, direct damage to heart/lungs, or damage to the brain. Basically anything that will very quickly prevent oxygen from reaching the brain and other vital organs.

Go ahead and post it! 8-900 words was about what I was thinking was a bite-sized excerpt (for me) anyway. 🙂

That’s okay, I never know how long my works in progress will end up, either!

I would be up for it though my chapters tend to be 3000 to 4500 words long. Most people critique me through google docs where I post my chapters.

I might be interested if the excerpts are short! I plan to not be on too much, but that’s better than nothing, Ig?

Congrats on starting a new (and first!) story! I have two WIPs (Work In Progress): a retelling of Sleeping Beauty with role reversals, and one about two brothers whose relationship has shattered due to tragedy in the family…[Read more]

Welcome to the crew!

It was not until the past couple of years that I embraced my interest of writing my own fantasy novel series. I honestly hated writing until then. XD The one thing that really pushed me to like it was due to my job. On a normal day, I write about 2,000-10,000 words and eventually got itch to write things I enjoy.…[Read more]

Thank you for making me feel welcome on the forums! I feel excited to write, and maybe share with everyone here.

Have a good day, Rose!!

You’re very welcome! Tag me when you post anything, I’d love to read it 🙂

You too, Miller!

(Also, I love your profile picture, that’s an adorable cat!)

I like to play a lot of christian songs, modern and the classical type of songs.

That’s fun! I often struggle to find sheet music for that kind of music, my music books are mostly classical! I’ve been playing Einaudi which is lovely but very long and very hard XD

Yeah I’m trying to get along with writing now. We’ll see if I can become friends with it. It’s going to be just like timing with piano.

Exactly! Writing gets easier the longer you do it, the first 20k words were the hardest I ever wrote.

Oh, it’s so cool that you play the piano! I play the Celtic harp! What kind of music do you like to pl…[Read more]

Well me and writing never had a good relationship to start with.

Same! XD I hated creative writing for most of my life. I just wasn’t good at it, so I didn’t enjoy it.

2020, some very drastic things happened. My private Christian middle school turned to virtual, my two boxers died, and, of course, COVID.

I’m so sorry about that! 🙁 I also…[Read more]

Hi Miller! I’m Rose, pleased to meet you!

How long have you been writing and what genres do you write in?
