[stylist] Critiques and Writing Prompts

[James H. "Jim" Canaday M.A. N6YR]

Welcome Joe,
I disagree with  my friend Judith, that is if we write about people, 
the reality is that sometimes there are offensive people doing 
offensive things.  sometimes you need a really offensive villain for 
the  hero to be a hero.  or, if you want to write about someone in an 
extreme situation, that person may do extreme things.

I would wish you to share here what you wish to share, but at the top 
of the e-mail perhaps just a note:
contains strong language;
contains descriptions of sex;
contains violence.
so, if someone does not wish to see it, he or she can just delete it then.
the world contains a huge range of characters in real life.
