F-bombs and other profanities...in fiction

Got a wild hair up my @$$ to count the number of curses in my most recently completed novel and was actually kind of embarrassed by the total.

Eight swear words and their variations, adding up to 231 profanities/vulgarities/obscenities/etc.

$h!t.

(On the bright side, 231 is only .03% of the total words in my manuscript.)

Here's what Writers Digest has to say about using such words.


Happy writing!
