We have become a society of WEANIES who get offended at the STUPIDEST THINGS!!! (Yes, I used the “S” word!)
I got an email from Westbow today, letting me know that, because their major buyers are CHRISTIAN, no profanity, euphemisms, or offensive language is allowed. DUH!!!!!
It went on to specify that I had several offensive words in my novel, Saving Beach Mansion:
“I wouldn’t have been CRAZY enough to swim out here if I didn’t!”
Ok, so Biblically, “let your yes be yes and your no be no,” so I’ll fix this with. “Yes, enough to get us safely ashore.”
“I feel like such a FREAK!”
“I feel like such a science experiment!” (as if ANYONE would say that!)
“Some STUPID kids were messing around…”
How about “Some undisciplined kids…”; but WAIT! This is the bad guys talking, so what would they know about “undisciplined,” and why wouldn’t they naturally use the word “STUPID!”?!?! I just deleted it down to “Some kids”
Oh, My!!! When I searched “stupid,” and “crazy,” I found that I used each FIVE TIMES!!! Horrors!!! How SINFUL of me!!!
I bet C.S. Lewis wouldn’t be approved!!! Or Tim LaHaye or Jerry Jenkins! Or Gilbert Morris or his daughter, Lynn! (I need to read the Cheney Duvall, MD series again!)
End of rant. Have a nice day! Remember, in ALL YOU DO, whether word or deed, HONOR GOD! (w/o offensive language!)
