And feedback he got. “Your book contains foul language, sexually explicit scenes and mythical creatures?” A women looked at him incredulously.
The writer said. “It contains Vampires, blood sucking, highly sexual, cussing swear words, and gory details.” He smiled proudly.
“But that is not good writing.” She said. In her life, back in the day, people didn’t talk like that and there was no reason for it, her mouth remained open.
The writer said, “This is the way it is and this is the way that my characters talk and live. They are trying to eradicate a populous that is going to kill humans, their life is dangerous and they are raw to the core.” He smiled sincerely.
“Wow.” Said the older women. She never heard anything so bad in all her life, stunned beyond words she was. “If I had known before you read those words I would have left, I don’t care to hear them and I don’t care to be here.” Then she walked out of the room talking her things with her, never to be seen again.
The rest of us just looked at each other and shrugged. It didn’t offend us.
Lesson learned. Warn people before reading your work that there is sexual content and bad language in your writing. So that they may decide to listen or read it.
Until next time.
