Fuck.

Yep. I said it. The dreaded f-bomb falling from the steady keys that have been pushed. To be honest, I've utterly failed at my own rules. So fuck.

But since this is a writing thing and I should try to teach you something I've learned in this experience called life.

It's not gonna be as long as the others but it is still important.


THE (F) bomb.

In writing, the words you select have to represent your character's voice, and not your own. Therefore, don't drop the bomb if your character wouldn't drop the bomb.

Yep. I feel  like that is pretty self-explanatory.

I will ramble on though, just in case.

DON'T DROP THE FUCK-WORD IF YOUR CHARACTER DOESN'T CUSS.

It ruins everything. Literally, everything. Your character's voice cannot waver. It destroys the tone of your story.

That's that.

I will try to write more. But fuck if work doesn't rip my intestines out one by one.
