@xonos-darkgrate Well, I love history, so research isn’t a chore to me. 🙂
Have you ever finished or published a book?

@xonos-darkgrate I write mostly historical fiction, but have some ideas for a dystopian. Since I have so many I want to write, I try to just focus on a couple at once.
Do you write book length poems? I write poems, but not book length.

Thank you! This is helpful. I also read an older article Reagan Ramm wrote about cussing in stories, which had some good thoughts.

@xonos-darkgrate Hi! I don’t remember seeing you before. I joined the Kingdom earlier this year, so you probably weren’t around. Glad you are back just the same!
You aren’t alone because I still don’t know how to post a GIF either. 😉
What do you like to write?

@ariel-ashira Everyone’s answers were good, but what Seekjustice said is true. We can give you a bunch of tips and our opinions, but really it’s a matter for your conscience and personal prayer. I hope the answer comes to you soon! 🙂

I honestly think this is a matter for your conscience. Some Christians feel comfortable writing/reading books with swearing, others don’t. I personally choose not to add in curse words because I just don’t see the point. I think it also depends on who you’re writing for. Middle grade, for example, I don’t think should ever have…[Read more]

@dekreel Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry I’m so late. 😐 Yes, I will continue writing it; I’ve just taken an extended hiatus on it (partially because I’ve been planning/writing my current WIP). I will hopefully get back to it in a month or so after I fully get used to juggling high school, swim, writing, KP/SE, and writing. I have some more ideas for it…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Personally, curse words don’t bother me in books until they are misused or used too often. That being said, I don’t generally find curse words very offensive, as I’ve grown up around several people who cuss. This summer I visited Ireland, and they cuss constantly! If I were to describe that experience though, I don’t think I would…[Read more]

@warrenluther04 Soooooooo. . . Are you going to continue writing Dog in KP?

@ariel-ashira Xonos Darkgrate once made a topic about swear words. Maybe it has what you’re looking for, maybe not. . . See how it works for you! 🙂

Hmm I’m not too sure about this myself.
I understand wanting to make sure that your dialogue reflects reality. I suppose one way to include such swearing without stumbling others is to make sure that you are simply portraying the swearing as part of the characterisation but not as a good or acceptable thing.
In actuality, I don’t…[Read more]

Ariel Ashira started the topic Swear Words In Stories? in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago
I have been wondering about the use of swear words in my stories. As a Christian, is all swearing out of the question? Since I write primarily historical fiction, I want my dialog to reflect reality, but I also don’t want to go to far. (An example would be a roman swearing by Jupiter or some other god in his sentences.) Any ideas? Is ther…[Read more]

yes we lost a guinea pig in the spring. we’ve actually lost three over the last few years, two of them due to using the wrong bedding for their cage. We didn’t know that pine bedding wasn’t good for their respiratory system. 🙁
