One of the characters got hit in the back of a head with a gun last chapter(yknow, like when they knock someone out in the movies? I know it sounds kinda silly put that way…) and I ended the chapter with that. I’m starting to write the second chapter and I have no idea of what that’s like. As in, does it still hurt? Are you dizzy? That kind of stuff. Could you please help me? Thank you. - Anonymous

I’d recommend thorough research on this topic, since head injuries can be tricky. How your character feels will depend on how hard he was hit, where, and whether there was brain damage caused. Some sources state if your MC has passed out for a long time (like bad guys do on movies) chances are, the blow has caused them a serious injury.

Any advice on writing like-able serial killers? - moriartyislove

Likable Villain from TV Tropes offers tropes about qualities that make villains more likable, and that could apply to serial killers.
