I've always enjoyed writing and when I was young had hoped to break into it as a career. One short story was returned by the editor of a certain "men's" magazine with positive comments about my writing, but wanted it to include "more sex. "
At the time I hadn't been born again, but was raised with a sense of Christian morality and had no interest in writing pornography, so I put the manuscript aside and focused on other things.
Since that time, I began writing a number of different works of fiction, but ended up putting them aside (post my new birth ) for reasons of "inappropriateness " as the works of a professing Christian.
I find it nearly impossible to write realistic fiction (and marketable work) without the inclusion of profanities in certain situations, sexual innuendo, or even some degree of explict portrayals of common though immoral relationships.
Does our liberty justify professional worldliness?
