shit.

you know what really bothers me? how some of our stories can be just fine when characters use phrases such as, "i will kill you.", and it's perfectly fine, but when i insert the word 'shit' three times into a story, i automatically lose two points. i don't know what's intended by this. if 'shit' is the most fitting word to go into the sentance, then god damn it, i will say 'shit'. i shouldn't be penalized for using 'bad words'. i'm not trying to start anything, but forgive me, i just don't understand the rationale behind that. i think describing somebody's eyes as 'glossy pidgeon shit' or saying that a bunch of hyped-up talk is 'bullshit' is completly plausible and realistic. honestly, i give a shit about what i can say in my writing. in case you haven't realized, i have already put the word 'shit' in here several times. i don't think that it's hard for many people to see that i am vehemently opposed to this docking of two points (that's textual sarcasm. the main point is that i shouldn't be penalized for using words that i find fitting in my writing. after all, this is creative writing and by limiting the scope of words i am allowed to use, it does infringe on my ability to be creative to some extent. furthermore, i don't wan't to see anyone elses' work get docked for using words that are fitting in the text. doing so makes a paradox of the fact that the class we are enrolled in is called creative writing. please note: it is not called creative writing with a small amount of intellectual interference and contradiction.) basically, i'm just really pissed off at the fact that saying 'shit' in a post lost me points. shit. shit. shit. i think that's all i had to say on the subject.
