Pain is a very common element of the stories I write. The Hunter is a half-demon assassin, so OF COURSE he is going to end up fighting (wounds are painful!). Ilanna from Queen of Thieves is a thief, a profession which carries its own share of pain. Some pains are easy to write. Most of us can wax poetic about a severe wound, burns, or other common pains. Some pains are harder to write: internal pains, emotional pains, mental pains, and "magical" pains. These take more effort to get right, and it can be difficult to know how to write them. Which is why I gathered a few of my author friends and had a good chat on the ways to write pain effectively. In the video below, you'll find a lot of useful information on how to write pain:
