@daeus Haven’t read everything that has been said, but I’ll jump in anyway.

I don’t think it’s right to put swearing in a novel. The Bible says not to do anything that will cause your brother to stumble (Romans 14:21). Some people will say that there are Christians who are hyper-conservative and they can be stumbled by almost everything. And…[Read more]

@Daeus just thought I’d let you know I won’t be write-a-thoning tomorrow— no success hunting today, so I’m going out again tomorrow. I did get lots of outlining done though. 😉

Now??? @winter-rose. Send your email address to @spradlin and she’ll forward it onto me (please Sarah) and then I’ll send through the story to you. Does that suit?

@Daeus Oh cool! An audio of your own book…that’d be exciting.

I know what you’re saying about a person reading the whole book as opposed to an actor representing the specific character, but I don’t think the issue of the person reading the book for the audio is the only problem. I thought it might be bad if the word was said out loud at all,…[Read more]

@winter-rose I’m done editing. It was good to get that out of the way, although I’m at a bit of a sticky spot as I’m unsure what to do with it now. If you care to read it I could always use new beta readers… 🙂

Thanks @nataliemarie it has just been published on KP if you want to see it in its proper shape. 🙂

@winter-rose I’ve got some editing to do, so I can join you. 🙂

@daeus: Cursing may seem to add a natural feeling to a character, but, in my opinion, it shouldn’t. “Bad words” are called bad words for a reason: they are often offensive. Just consider how some people feel about this. If you publish your book, you might sell more copies if people felt better about recommending it. I personally wouldn’t recommend…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper: I don’t think that quote is from Rogue One (which I am insanely excited about). It sounds like something that would fit, though.

@winter-rose: Love the new profile picture!
And yes, it was from Zootopia 🙂

@Daeus I would never read a curse word from a script, whether play or book. Something you could consider (though it’s kinda minor) about whether or not to put the words in your writing is, what if someone were to make an audiobook or movie out of your story (pretend for a minute that’s likely to happen. 😛 Ya never know!), they’d have to say the…[Read more]

“”2. What words are you using? The D-word, or something worse? I would say that the D-word is the one word that is the least bad of all the cuss words that exist (not saying that it’s right, but that it is not as terrible as saying the S-word or something). “”

No, it’s not right, and it’s not as harsh as other words, but r…[Read more]

@NatalieMarie Neato.

@Leumeister How long have you been writing?

@Daeus hm, yeah. That’s a puzzler. I would probably not do that, for the sake of my conscience and because I wouldn’t want to get accustomed to having bad words on my lips, even if they aren’t mine.
