hey! I’m in the US writing a novel. I’m a believer, a disciple of the Lord Jesus. I’m interested in how you handle this – I’m trying to write the novel honest, true-to-life.
The novel is a mystery and one of the characters is a detective who is not a believer. So when he gets mad he doesn’t say darn it. When I’m writing free, I’m writing curse words, but there’re real, that’s what that character would say. My uncle was a detective. He was a tough guy and talked tough. But as a believer I don’t want to publish a book that would embarrass the church, is that a valid concern? I pray about it and it just seems like Jesus was so real, no phony stuff. Any comments?
