Guidelines

Hi there and welcome to The Imaginarium of Janet and Janikka. :D

Wow! I'm beginning to get a headache with the recent guidelines I received from my publisher. It seems that the Heaven Sent Collection is very very strict especially when using words for the purpose of expression. It thought it was only the kissing scene that has to be cropped out but also some common words that sound as curses for the Christian genre. 

So here are the guidelines as I understood it:

1. Strictly no kissing scenes.
2. No swear words or any words used for that purpose
3. No graphic representation of violence
4. Strictly no bedscenes/love scenes

It's actually challenging to write about a romance story that doesn't have kissing scenes but I got around it just fine. It's the selective words that I am having a problem with. You see, I kind of like to use some minor swear words that aren't very obvious like Tanga! Panget! Sira! and I found out they are prohibited as well. 

Okay. Time to face the challenge and man up! :P
