10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

New Part: 10 Lethal Injury Ideas

If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain, here are some ideas: 

1. Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility. This is useful because your characters will have to experience a mild struggle and adapt their plans to their new lack of mobiliy. Perfect to add tension to a chase scene.

2. Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult, helping you sneak in those ragged wheezes during a fight scene. Could also be used for something sport-related! It's impactful enough to leave a lingering pain but not enough to hinder their overall movement.

3. Concussions

This common brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment heavily. It can also cause mild amnesia.

I enjoy using concussions when you need another character to subtly take over the fight/scene, it's an easy way to switch POVs. You could also use it if you need a 'cute' recovery moment with A and B.

4. Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills. This would be perfect for characters like artists, writers, etc. Or, a fighter who brushes it off as nothing till they try to throw a punch and are hit with pain.

5. Road Rash

Road rash is an abrasion caused by friction. Aka scraping skin. The raw, painful sting resulting from a fall can be a quick but effective way to add pain to your writing. Tip: it's great if you need a mild injury for a child.

6. Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation. Good for torture scenes.

7. Deep Laceration

A deep laceration is a cut that requires stitches. As someone who got stitches as a kid, they really aren't that bad! A 2-3 inch wound (in length) provides just enough pain and blood to add that dramatic flair to your writing while not severely deterring your character.

This is also a great wound to look back on since it often scars. Note: the deeper and wider the cut the worse your character's condition. Don't give them a 5 inch deep gash and call that mild.

8. Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma. Like the previous injury, the lasting physical and emotional trauma of a burn is a great wound for characters to look back on.

If you want to explore writing burns, read here.

9. Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, offering a window to force your character to lean on another. Note: I personally use muscle related injuries when I want to focus more on the pain and sprains to focus on a lack of mobility.

10. Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted. When exploring tendonitis make sure you research well as this can easily turn into a more severe injury.

This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. This is inspiration, not a thorough guide. Happy writing! :)

Send me something to think about

Percy Jackson is against bullying.

He is however very sad that neither Annabeth, Clarrise or Drew had met Octavian in camp Jupiter, because as much as he frowns on it he would pay any kind of money to see those three tear him a new one for acting like a little bitch he is.

Project 2025 ain't gonna roll out all at once. So what we're gonna wanna do is make passing each individual part of it as difficult as possible, so there's less to undo once we finally get this country back on the rails.

My favorite part of the PJO TV series casting announcements is that there's always a tweet of the new actor and Walker Scobell as Percy saying "their beef is about to be insane". No matter what. Ares actor? Beef is gonna be insane. Hades and Zeus actors? Beef is gonna be insane. Thalia? Beef is gonna be insane/he's gonna make fun of her accent and she'll electrocute him. Now, Athena? Again, the beef is about to be crazy.

And it's always right. That kid had beef with everyone and their mom.

MORE PHICHIT!!!

So yesterday one person asked me if I could provide a picture of the location in the background of my previous rant and I thought that’s a very good idea. So here it is the recent picture of the building I took this morning and the anime one for you guys to compare.

I have to take it from across the street because for the same angle means I have to stand in the streets, and I still want to continue watching my baby. You notice the bowling pin is gone due to the bowling alley going busted awhile back. So there you have it my new Phichit post.

NOT!!!

YOU THINK THAT IS IT? THAT ONE LAME COMPARISON IS IN NEED OF ONE WHOLE NEW POST? SURE FIRST IT WAS ONLY GOING TO BE THAT BUT THEN I THINK HEY WHY NOT TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER? DO YOU KNOW WHY THEY DECIDE TO ANIMATE THAT BUILDING OUT OF ALL THE MORE MODERN AND ATTRACTIVE BUILDINGS AROUND HERE? THAT’S BECAUSE IN THERE ON THE TOP FLOOR MY FRIEND IS AN INDOOR ICE SKATING RINK. THE SAME RINK MY BABY FACETIME YURI FROM!!!

FUCKING

BOOM

YOUR WELCOME!!!

Also you know what I just realized? In the first episode he was pulling a travelling bag along which might means he just got back to Thailand from Detroit. And he’s walking to the right of the screen whICH IS TOWARDS MY HOUSE (or maybe to the bus stop right off screen but I want to keep it positive).

MY BABY IS SO NEARBY!!!

THE MORE I KNOW THE MORE I CAN’T!!!
