I had a question to ask, if you don't mind:<br /><br />In a book of mine, the main character is a fifteen year old girl. There are many times where she is tortured by the antagonists. It also includes sexual/rape torture. I want to write a scene, but not one that makes the readers too uncomfortable. Do you have some advice?

My character is only eighteen, rather young and very inexperienced. I want him to resist the torture but I feel as though that would make him seem to unlikely and heroic and maybe a little less human. I mean, the guy's just a kid, he shouldn't be able to withstand torture. I'm thinking about someone interrupting the scene or the torturers being called away or something, but I'm not sure how to do it. This article was really helpful though, thank you.

I'm currently writing a book where the protagonist is taken by an organisation and the idea is that they torture him until his mind breaks but I couldn't think of anyway to do this.

Do you or anyone else out there have any good tips for starting this scene as the beginning of the story?

He goes on a mission alone to find a werewolf (when he is eight years old in body but fifteen years old mentaly due to not aging for seven years) that has been terrorising a small Japanese town and he is captured by the werewolf before he is tortured. I make the werewolf torture him enough to almost bring his darker personality out even though the main character decides to let the werewolf live when he could have used his magical prowess to rip the werewolf limb from limb. The main character (in the present) then tells his vampire boyfriend (who knows that the main character is a werewolf) after he (the main character) has been drinking a lot of Vodka (which he owns due to owning a pub/nightclub/tavern).

Amazing tips, thanks. <br /><br />Basically I'm writing a fantasy short story, I'm only 20 but it's a nice hobby that I've picked up recently. One of my main characters Ash is torturing a man because she believes he has information concerning a woman she knows is sleeping with her husband. She wants to know all about the woman, her name, address and anything else. In the end he can't give her much so she kills him. She kind of kills people for her own enjoyment as well as trying to get information but this page has been so helpful. <br /><br />It's a pretty important scene as it leads to the arc of the story so I have to get it right. Hopefully people will like it :) Sorry I kind of ranted on a bit there lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-25328932836640914622014-12-17T19:08:03.550-05:002014-12-17T19:08:03.550-05:00I'm glad you stumbled upon my blog, and that m...I'm glad you stumbled upon my blog, and that my tips are useful to you. :)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-72960502553351823232014-12-17T18:20:01.736-05:002014-12-17T18:20:01.736-05:00Thank you!
