S41E4 – Writing Emotions: Physical Pain

If you ever write a physical conflict, pain will be a key element to the story. Too many authors forget about injuries or gloss over the reality of what a punch or stab would mean for the character. Unless magical healing is involved, any hit will have consequences. In this episode, we break down what pain means, how it affects the body, and how you can accurately include it in your story.
