    I too have written many death scenes in stories as well and especially when I wrote the 5th volume to one of my stories did I really want not only myself to feel the full impact of death, but the readers as well. If you want, I can send you a few death scene's I've written in hopes that maybe it could give you an idea of how you'd like to write yours.

    I have a lot of deaths in the stories I write. Honestly, I love building up suspense, but it also depends on the type of death. Is it a revenge death? If so, it's going to be slow and gruesome. Is it someone that's trying to simply defend themself? If so, it'll probably be over pretty quickly. You have to take in account everything going through the murderer and/or the victim's mind(s). Researching murderer's can be pretty useful because you get a chance to get inside their minds, plus it should give you a good indication on how to approach it.

    Rape is different, in my opinion. You really need to be cautious when approaching the subject because there are people that have been through such a thing. You need to capture the emotions, the feelings, etc. If you don't do it correctly, people won't like it. Whenever I read something that has rape and it's not dealt with in an appropriate manner, there's a pretty good chance that I won't read said person's writing again. Rape is serious, as is murder. You have to approach both topics with an air of cautiousness, if that makes sense. One thing I can recommend is looking up stories on people talking about their experiences- talking about how they feel.

    However, I will say that most of the people I know that include rape in their stories have actually been through something of the sort. Incorporating it is their way of coping, if that makes sense.

    Also, asking for help doesn't make you a bad writer. Ask questions, experience things, research. Honestly, it'll better you in the end. Good luck!Cute
