It explained everything. Thanks!So, so to be clear, Medium pays now when you publish on those sites. I would think they earn more because they have more followers on the bigger sites. I also see when you publish on those I get notified, more than when you publish on your own.
Me too! Debz, I'm wagging my finger at you because it's unfashionable to slap someone's wrist. Submit anything you produce. You are a talented writer!!!
This was my response on anotehr thread= I have spent my entire adult life around the transportation industry and for a loooong time, I was the only female in the room. Profanity was a big part of that culture. I don't like it, but it has been part of some of the lexicons I have experienced. So if I was reading about thugs and their language reflected a tea room education, I'd doubt I'd feel it was authentic. I also love to read historicals and believe me, nobody cursed more fluently and colorfully than the characters in Shakespeare's stories.
If you are going to buy a book that involves the underbelly of criminal culture chances are you are going to come in contact with that kind of language.
While some say cursing is the lance of the dimwitted- and it is part of the character's personality- it has to be expected.
Gratuitous cursing is another matter. If the language reflects the character and situation- I'll read it, if it feels overdone and doesn't belong- I usually put the book down- but that is a matter of taste and shouldn't reflect in a review rating. IMO

Thanks, Anna. I loved writing those books. I think of them as more as love-letters to my grandkids. lol
