Writing is the most helpful activity man can be engaged in! |
Don't think of me as a hopeless innocent. I grew up in isolated cotton camps where drunkenness was the norm, and broken bottles were handy weapons to settle any argument.
Sure, I know (first hand) there is profanity and violence in this world; I was in my first knife fight before I was 10 years old. I remember how excited I was by my great good fortune to participate in the adventure even though I didn't have a knife. I'd been shot at several times before that and I can assure you a knife fight is just so much more exciting.
Crammed deep into my subconscious is profane jargon that would blister the paint off hell's front door. I still say, Take the same story in two books written by the same author. Write one "G" Rated and the other "X-rated" and good old "G" writing will outshine, outperform, and deliver more royalties than an "X-rated" whose choice of language springs from the sewer on the other side of the tracks.
In the name of reality, authors who use this "X-rated" type of jargon would have a high-priced lawyer respond to a judge's refusal to deliver justice with a succulent phrase similar to: "Judge, you're a stupid XXX XXXX XXXX jackXXX."
Don't you feel these words might more reasonably have sprung from the battered lips of a simple-minded barroom spittoon polisher who has been suddenly booted in the posterior?
That response might give some readers a momentary chuckle of satisfaction.
Meanwhile, having that same lawyer respond meekly with ducked head saying: "Then your Honor, I ask that a mistrial be declared so my client can be tried before a court of higher intelligence," would slap that judge across the face with a deeper insult, and give readers an intense satisfaction they will relish and appreciate for days to come, all without any word of profanity in it.
While the first lawyer might receive a righteous rebuke from the judge, the second lawyer would more likely end up in jail for contempt of court -- if the judge didn't die of shock.
So --
I'm trying to connect readers and publishers of G-rated material to the most gifted writers I can find with knowledge to impart, a mission to run, a story to tell, or talent to share. If you are a writer of "G" rated properties: all the help -- all the links to the superior resources from the Tale Wins web site -- are yours to use for free. You can even get paid to post your own work.
I am calling for professional writers who will labor all day long (if necessary) to produce a response capable of delivering more eloquent outrage to life's denials all of us protagonists face daily.
