I have a question.. now a days all books have cuss words being used.. but I hardly use them which is making it difficult for me. when I write.. how do I change that..
If you’re not comfortable using cuss words in your writing, that’s perfectly okay! You don’t have to change your style to match others. You can convey intensity, anger, or frustration through strong dialogue, descriptive language, or the actions of your characters. If you feel that certain situations in your story need stronger language, there are other ways to imply it without using actual cuss words. Consider using creative metaphors, body language, or other expressions that align with your style and the tone of your story.
Example: Instead of: "Damn!"
Use Alternative: "For heaven's sake!" or "Good grief!"
or
Use strong dialogue like: "You’ve got to be kidding me!"
Instead of: "What the hell?"
Use: "What on earth?" or "What in the world?"
Or
Use Strong dialogue like: "No way. Absolutely not."
Likewise.. You can also use some humorous substitutes like
"Holy moly!"
"Gosh darn it!"
So the idea is by using these alternatives, you can maintain the intensity and emotion in your romance writing without relying on cuss words.
I have been writing for more than 8 years now. Though I have at some point realise all these steps, it was all fogotten when I start a new book. Having these steps to guide me is really a great thing and I can't thank you enough for that. It's a great day when I finally decided to buy your kit and here I am reading this as I feel that we are building a career together out of our passion which we really loves to do. Thanks a lot. Madhu. (Madhu is my best friend's name) So I would like to call you just by that. Madhu. ♥️♥️♥️
Reena. I am glad that these steps would refresh your writing course from hereon. And yes, you can always call me 'Madhu.' Most of my reader and writer friends call me that. Also, let me know if you want to purchase the Romance writer's kit, which has a 10% off for UPI payments. :) Happy Writing dear.

This is amazing. Never thought of it till now. Using damn for almost every line in my story and I guess I can use varieties now.
Yep. You can always try variations. :)
Thank you so much.. this really helps..
Great. Happy Writing. :)
