Hi all,
Lookit, my very first post!
I am in the midst of my WIP, a good bit in, and submitted a chapter to my writer's group which was well received. Someone, however, did point out that I needed to do a bit more research on one of my scenes.
My protagonist walks into her boss' office to find his body...only his body. He's been beheaded and dead for several hours, possible eight, and she is describing the scene.
I mention the smell of the blood and how most of it has dried around/on the body. I believe I used the word 'congealing' which I now know is incorrect.
Does anyone know where I could go for a proper description of this that won't lead me to some awful site? Just need the mechanics for now.
Thanks for the help in advanced!
