In short, my current WIP is a little edgier than other books I've written. People die. And not just by the (duh, duh, dun...) bad guy, but by lots of main characters. Basically my book is killer. (ha ha, sorry I had to put that one in).
So in real life I'm not a killer. And my biggest sin is my frequent use of the "D" word. I'd like to blame my hubby for that, but I'm sure if you met him you'd know I was a big, fat liar. Though I've written a kill-all book, I'm not in any way advocating being an assassin. When my character uses the "D" word, it doesn't mean I use the "D" word in everyday life. (Alright, so not a good example).
What I'm wondering is, when and where do you draw the line?
What if what you really want to write is a bit darker and scarier than your personal morals or religious beliefs?
"D" Word or the "B" Word . . . or the "Sh" word . . . or the (duh, duh, duh . . .) "F" word?
Holy mother, did I just ask that question? Yes I did.
Please, for the love of all things, let me know. Or I'll be a sad "D"word-dropping girl for the rest of the day.
