would you read a sweary book

[Icanhearmynebioursshouting]

ive just complete a book and im pretty proud of it i think mumsnetters would love it, buts it;s got a few swear words in it not nothing over the top just a few fucksake, twat, tit, bastard, fuckoff, piss off. is it to much ??

For me the swearing has to be either in character to give an idea of the situation/personality or as a one off to show how bad/stressed the situation it. If I go into it, I prefer the style of Alex Rider which will say "he swore at..." rather than actually going into the actual words used, for example.

I hate swearing for the sake of swearing. I also hate when swearing is used unnecessarily in a sort of author's nod to the readership of "see, I'm really cool, don wiv the youf".
I can't think of an example of the latter, but perhaps to use a slightly different situation the Cherub books bug me when they have the characters smoking and getting drunk. No way would a school for spies even turn a blind eye to that because they'd give away all sorts when drunk and they make such a fuss about fitness they'd not want them smoking. More likely to have lessons about how to appear to be smoking/drinking and not actually do it.
To me it come across a little as a "see, I understand kids really want to do this all the time, so I've put it in the books as wish fulfilment."

In your extract the only bit that interests me is the last bit You see Eric (the hubby) he is amazing in every single way, caring, gorgeous, spontaneous and most of all he is just the best thing that has ever happened to me. But he also brings the worst thing that has ever happened to me into my life.
The first bit come across a bit like some of the mummy blogs of "I'm one of you, really, honest...."

Try reading the Shopaholic books for an example of interior monologue that doesn't get in the way of the story but tells us lots about the main character

Swearing loses its shock value if it's used all the time

Little buggers is better, that's practically a term of endearment
