Plots and Cussing

The count for BG2b is growing, 33474, slowly but surely. I got some decent writing in today. Not sure how much of it will stay though. I needed to write through a bump in the plot road, just to keep going with this conflict issue I came up with. I think it will still hold, which is good!

I may work on the query letters again tonight. I’ve been letting it sit a few days between each ‘working on it’ periods. I need to work on the synopsis more than anything else though. It just seems so difficult to cull a 79K document into just one page. Or less!

Um, like, they met. One got mad at the past. One had a bad date with a “predator”. The two MCs finally get together. Brat pitched a fit. Brat got over it, they all moved in together and lived happily ever after.

There. Done.

Whatever was I so worried about? :rolleyes:

How much cussing (as in shit, damn, hell. and other such words) is acceptable in GLBT fiction? Not that my MCs are like, sailors long at sea, but they are human after all. The words don’t distract from the plot/scene. If anything, it kinda adds to it, showing the character better. You know, like:

“Gosh, Ellen, I’m not sure I remember that far back.”

“Give it a try! You can do it!”

VS:

“Shit, Ellen, I ain’t sure I can recall something that long ago!”

“Dammit, Nikki, give it a try! You can do it!”

See what I mean? If you don’t, well, never mind. I guess you had to be here.
