YOU PUT A FUCK IN, YOU TAKE A FUCK OUT

That's the editing process. Putting the fucks in the right places. (I'm talking about the word, not the deed. Jeez, I ain't no pornographer.)

So far this weekend, I've taken out three fucks and redistributed the remaining two. At about 2500 words, that's a fuck every 1250 words or so, or roughly one every five pages. Makes the story stronger. Try it at home.

You're welcome.

good strategy... I've been trying to find ways to say the word without saying them too... for example:

far cue


have also been working on it as an adjective... that's a lot of fun... such a versatile old saxon word...
