…especially when you, yourself, tend to curse like a sailor when in pain or frustrated.
I never knew it would be so difficult to write dialog when a character doesn’t curse.

Although, I shouldn’t say it’s difficult, it’s just annoying at times because my gut-reaction is: In that situation, a lot of people would lay down the F-bomb. I know I would. And by Tayce not cursing, it seems to draw attention to the fact that she’s…well, not cursing.
