How to Describe Deep Emotional Pain
When writing or living, at times a person suffers emotional pain, a deep shearing hurt. When living the hurt, words can't describe the agony, but when writing about the pain, the writer must find words.
However, after having someone loved deliver to a writer a spat of words, oversight, or action that tears the heart, a writer might try to find a way to describe the physical manifestations he or she suffered.
1. Pain and crushing weight in the chest.
2. Stomach tied in knots, yes, not a cliche but for real.
3. Brain whirling.
4. Feeling of suffocation.
5. Weakness
6. Vision blurred
7. Desire to run, to move, to leave
8. Overwhelming need to cry: deep, tortured sobs that rip a person apart
9. Wanting to strike out, to hit a wall, kick a footstool, take physical action
10. Sick, nauseated.
11. Want to crawl in bed and stay there forever.
12. Feeling hopeless and lost
Now, if I ever need to write about a person suffering a deep, agonizing, emotional pain, I have a starting point. |

Words from Our Readers
I missed posting my newsletter last time because I was in rehab after having my right knee replaced, thereby needing to learn to walk again. My last issue covered promoting our writing and that of others.

Thanks for all the sources that provide useful how-to’s. Like everyone, I want to get published. But before submitting to any publisher or promoting work, I must hone my art. How do you know when you’re ready to submit? I do know there will be many rejections at first but how do you must improve if the reviewer doesn’t specify the certain parts that need editing? I thanks for the information and encouragement.
If a reviewer doesn't give ideas as to what section(s) need editing, email the reviewer and ask.

I'd like to say that you are entirely correct and even one of the best place to find networking with authors is now Comic-Con. Last year they started having authors give different "classes" throughout the day for every kind of author there is. It was a very enlightening experience. Not only did we get to hear how the authors wrote, we learned tips, and got to meet them on a personal level.

Excellent newsletter,Vivian! I had no idea how to even start promoting my work, oh, social media scares dejavu...*Blush* gotta suck it up and get involved, girl! *Smirk* Thanks for all your tips and I'll definitely check out those Writer's Digest links!
Sometimes getting started is the hardest first step ever, but I don't know of any short cut.
Thank you for joining me this issue. I still would like to know what topic or topics you would like to see covered.
