    What exactly is wrong with swearing?

    When I am not writing, I do a number of things. I come from a very artistically inclined family, and that trait has carried over to myself. My grans swears that I have a sense for anything artistic. I myself am a photographer. This is where my artistic sense comes in; even a hint of...
