I use the words in my books on purpose. You don’t have to like that. But, no, the story wouldn’t have been “just as good” if I had used “down there” instead of pussy. I wrote the story I should have with the words I should have. Other authors and other stories might do otherwise, which is why…
Yes! They are *real* words, whether others like them or not.
Every time I am scolded by someone for using “foul language” or writing about “inappropriate situations,” I think, “Eh, fuck off, Scoldy.”
