because I feel like i'm burning... really.. and i'm gonna put it in a book. It's like if you put your hand on the stove while it's still on, that kind of burning. I just feel like I am I'm not really burning it just feels that way.

I like these 2 expressions:

Me estoy asando - we'd say this in England (not so often...) = I'm roasting (also scorching or boiling)

Me muero de calor = I'm dying from the heat.

I'd say: Me siento como si estuviera quemándome.

Hot weather: "Me estoy asando" "Me siento como en un horno"

Anger: "Siento que estoy ardiendo por dentro"

Literal translation: "Siento como si me estuviera quemando"

I've heard "quemado" countless times but I've neverd "buring". Howver, I take your point. - samdie, Sep 14, 2011
I think it is Northern English accented for "boring". - ray76, Sep 14, 2011

You could say Estoy abrasando which abrasar means to burn (to be on fire or from the sun's heat) and adding ando to an -ar verb means you are actively doing it.

Well that means I'm being burned by the sun, did you mean like you feel like you are literally on fire? - PollitoPequeno, Sep 14, 2011
I was heating up because it was really hot out and it felt like I was getting cooked, like if you were to put you hand on the stove while it's on. - Sofia_Anita_A, Sep 14, 2011

Yeah, context would really help. On fire (literally)? Uncomfortably hot? Angry? Passionate?
