#WordWeavers 1/9. Have you invented any words/sayings/swears etc. for your story?
I don't shy away from the real cursewords, but for _Entangling Vines_, I've had to adapt a bit anyway. Even things like "God Damn" need to be adapted when the religious context of the world is different, you know?
I've toyed with coming up with special curses for my hardSF universe but since it's rooted in actual earth, it's hard to say if I shouldn't just pull on fun curses in languages I don't yet speak.
