#WritersCoffeeClub day 10: How informal is your prose? Is there a limit to informality?
I try to keep it at a medium level; I want my narration to be unobtrusive.
That's distinct from my characters' internal thoughts; I'm doing close 3rd specifically so I can move back and forth between narratorial voice and my characters' internal states. Those, of course, are every bit as informal as most people's ongoing thoughts are. Yes, up to and definitely including swear words.

#WritersCoffeeClub day 11: Does your work reflect your morals? How so? For just one of many examples, one of my villains is a cop. A corrupt one, at that. Two more are billionaires.
