You're so right. I mean, um...I love this post!<br /><br />You're so right. I mean, um, in my novels there are some expletives but, still, you're right. I like to think about their appropriateness a lot.<br /><br />There have actually been psychological studies into swearing and it's interesting to know that the same holds true in real life. Swearing tends to mean MORE to people who rarely use those words and, thus, when they do the words have a larger affect.<br /><br />Interestingggg.<br /><br /><3Mia Haysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041441666482084762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490330684094624076.post-59224775130054002932012-01-11T08:19:41.433-08:002012-01-11T08:19:41.433-08:00Awesome!

I blogged about this topic earlier in the week. <br /><br />Expletives don't bother me... unless I hear kids saying them. I dunno - turn off to me. <br /><br />I didn't realize I'd used so many in YA manuscript so I'm editing a lot out unless older characters (like 22) say them.<br /><br />Glad to see others tackling this topic!Nikki Jeffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425343380649714766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490330684094624076.post-63976789022912209192011-12-21T04:11:54.359-08:002011-12-21T04:11:54.359-08:00Great post!

But no matter who is swearing, I try to keep it to those moments where I want to show emotion. It gets the point easily across. Though like you said, if you abuse the words, the emotional impact is greatly diminished.Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.com
