The Long and The Short Of It

205. Give More F*cks


Listen Later

Jen catches Pete by surprise by cursing to start off this week’s episode, and the fun (and swearing) just continues from there.

Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:

  • What are the benefits of using swear words as part of your writing or creative practice?
  • And how might using these words actually bring more humanity to your writing?
  • What are some helpful, sometimes curse-filled writing prompts to get you started with this idea?
