| Oh boy! |
Like most writers I know I have an office in my home. This has many advantages as well as disavantages. For me, privacy becomes an issue because I write very sexy erotic romance and have two children. Yesterday, I was outside and when I came in my 11 year old daughter said, Mom I'd like to see you in your office for a minute. So I followed her in and she pointed to my notes sitting on my desk and the word Fuck was written there. Although appaled, she seemed a little amused as well. She said, you write words like this! In Romance books!!
Apparently, she even called her 12 year old brother to come in and see "the word" while I was outside.
I had to explain to her, that although I don't ever use the word myself...cough...clearing throat...my characters do. In order to make my tough alpha cop seem real, this is the lanugage he'd use.
Grinning like the Chestshire chat, she was like, uh huh, yeah, sure....
Oh boy!! |

YOu know, I remember clearly the day my mother first swore in front of us kids. She dropped a bottle of milk (ahem...we had bottles back in the 70s okay...) and it shattered all over the floor. To which my mother responded with a very decisive 'shit!'. My brother and I looked at each other and realized a whole new world had just opened up to us because if MOM could swear...well...
Anytime my mother suggests I swear like a sailor from time to time I just remind her of that day and tell her it's alllll her fault.

OMG Cathy! That's priceless. My 12 year old read one of my MS's - just a little bit naughty. I told her it was someone else's.
