I ran Women of Mystery through the blog rater I found on Crabby McSlacker’s blog Cranky Fitness. We are rated PG-13.
What a disappointment. I was hoping for an R. We're mystery writers. I thought we’d be loaded with blood and guts, but apparently we are very genteel when we talk about what we write. We earned our rating by using the words "murder" 4 times, "dead" 3 times and "hell" once.
I guess it proves the old adage: it's not what you say; it's how you say it.

Is that an invitation, Terrie? Because I am fucking ready to roar if it is!
All right, all right. Let me finish writing the dead body scene from the work in progress and I will post it. It won't earn us HIGH ratings, but maybe a bit more blood and guts will help.
Heh. ReidAboutIt.com is rated NC-17 for multiple uses of...
Ready for it?
Poop.
Clare, to quote Montgomery Gentry "Hell Yeah."
Laura, I knew we could count on you for the blood and guts.
Reid, oh, you're full of it!

My apologies for writing 'f____ing' in my post about The Matador. I was trying to be considerate of my blog sisters...but now your true colors are showing!
These ratings are so odd--I suspect they must just look at the first page. Because I have a post on penis length, two posts on breasts, one on oral sex, and I forget what all else. (I'm a health blog, not a porn site, but I do try hard for at least an R.) Yet I'm only a PG, for Death and Drugs. Sigh.
And sorry, Terrie, that I didn't catch this post earlier. Thanks for the link, and hope you're having a great vacation!
I'm gonna have to pop over to crabby's for the link so I can see what my blog comes in as.
