#WritersCoffeeClub 23Nov- Do you have profanity in your work?
Yes -- but #ParallelLines, my first novel, is the first of my works to have profanity in it. In the end, I decided the characters need to speak the way the characters need to speak. Neither the profanity nor the sensuality in this book are gratuitous; they establish character and move the story forward.
Frankly? I still worry a bit about what friends or family will think when they read it. Do you guys struggle with that at all?
