Quick questions:

  1. What kind of words should I substitute if my character is angry and says "Holy (bleep)"?

  2. Basically, the same question as question one but the phrase this time is "Oh my g--...". Oh my goodness is a good substitution but I don't think it makes the character sound as mad as the original expression.

  3. Do you have other tips on writing angry expressions without the character swearing?

Thanks.
