Does anyone know where I can locate the spelling of sounds of horror or pain or agony? In one of my short novels I write: And with that he grabbed the man’s crotch solidly squeezing until he thought he heard a pop. “Rrrraaaaaahhhhhhh!” Auggie screamed so loudly that Tim’s ears rang.
Okay, so this passage is rather crude but what I want to know is how to spell the scream of intense pain. Any ideas? Thanks.
S - C - R - E - A - M of pain. But seriously, I don't know. I want to know myself. I don't generally sound effects much myself.
How about this: type things into MS word and see if they're red-underlined. Example: augh is apparently a word.
Personally, I like to say he screamed over spelling it out most of the time. Maybe all of the time.
I would recommend you not type out the actual scream unless you're writing a comic book. The excerpt you provided works much better by excluding the goofy sound effect.
I just want to see.
I agree with Max. Typing it out is a bit cringeworthy. Describe it.
Just Google onomatopoeia.
Beyond that, create the word. This is art. Don't worry about how it is supposed to be, just do it. Someone will try and correct you later if it's wrong or doesn't work.
