Pain, Pain Perception, and Healing: A Primer for Writers

I'm playing with scribd, a service that is described like YouTube for text. I decided to put together the online course I ran on Pain and Healing for writers into an ebook form.

The 38 page book is available free and you can download it here. It has chapters on the anatomy and history of pain, pain perception, wound healing, and fracture healing along with example language in describing pain and injury in a story context.

Let me know what you think, either in comments here or on the scribd site.

Thanks!

  2. I tried to download it, as you said I could, but it won't do it. Then I tried to Select All and copy it, and it wouldn't do that, either. Did you really mean "download"? Thanks.

    If that doesn't work (and sometimes scribd has problems) email me and I will send it to you.
