This is going to be some sort of odd combination of a ramble, a rant, an essay, and an article, but hopefully it will be interesting, lol ( Read more... )

writing: characters, journal: reflection, writing: fics, writing: in general, journal: introspective

Hey you.. here again, lurking around. ;)

As you can probably guess, because I don't swear, I don't include swearing in my writing either. The funny thing is, I don't even know if anyone has ever noticed that. Aside from one friend who already knew that I didn't swear, I have never really had anyone comment about it, even when I write for characters that are known for swearing.I actually thought about that once after reading some of your Supernatural fics. Don't remember witch one, but I remember thinking how well you were able to write the story and the characters and never once have them swearing. Because Dean especially sure does have a foul mouth in the series. I was aware of your religious background and values so it was obvious to me why you didn't you didn't use any of that language. :) I usually notice when someone is using a lot of swearing in their writing, because it's something that I don't like. I read if the story is good enough, but I pay attention of how much it's being used ( ... )

*blush* Thank you! I try very hard to do that, so that really means a lot. :)

I sometimes watch TV with the my finger on the mute button. And with fics I've gotten good at mentally editing, lol.

Lol, I don't picture Dean saying that first one either, lol.

I actually have a good part of the next chapter of "In The Hands Of Time," written, I'm just stuck on one part. But I promise I will do my best to get it up soon! :)

*goes off to work on it* :)
