Dear Ms. Fitch: Living in South Dakota where there are miles and miles between places I pass the long rides away by listening to many books on CD. When done I donate them to the library or exchange them with others.
I recently purchased your “Paint it Black” story. I am not a prude and will over look an occasional F word but I couldn’t get through even one CD without hearing the F word too many times.(at least 50 to 100 times) I ejected it and will pitch the whole book.
Your story is probably very good but why would you feel it necessary to use the F word so many times?
I sure hope you are not teaching others that they can use it as an easy way to fill pages. Do you get paid by the word?
I do not mean to criticize but most people don’t talk this way and would prefer not to read or hear it over and over.
The kerplunk you hear is the sound of the audio book landing in the trash.
