In the past, I made sure that my writing did not include swear words and such, but now I feel like I have matured and have a better grasp of how non-believers think and speak, so now I have fictional non-believers wanting to swear, and I can't quite think of any alternatives, so it's been a bit frustrating. I entered a Christian screenwriting contest, and even though I got really good feedback on my screenplay, it did not make it to the next round, probably because it didn't fit what you call Category A (which is what won the contest). It was more of a Category D story. I think there are not enough Category D stories out there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this subject.
