I am so good at taking selfies guys.

If you want to drop a "fuck" in the prose, I have always found it useful to check if these elements are present:

1. Stress
2. Anger
3. Hysteria
4. Horniness

and, of course:

5. Does it suit the tone of your book?

If 5. is present with any combination of 1-4, then we are good! If not:👏 S T O P !👏

Like I swear on God, so many of the f-bombs I see dropped in these books are done with the sole intent of assuring the reader that this book is, indeed, for ADULTS.

N O ! Swearing is an art, and I feel like authors should be good at it??? But so many aren't???

I think one of the biggest reasons I have been so desperate to move out of Sydney for most of my adult life is not enjoying the climate. The heat is not my thing, and the cold here isn't like northern cold -- it's simply annoying to deal with.
